Paul E. McKenney 65e6bf484c rcu: add comment stating that list_empty() applies to RCU-protected lists ...

Because list_empty() does not dereference any RCU-protected pointers, and
further does not pass such pointers to the caller (so that the caller
does not dereference them either), it is safe to use list_empty() on
RCU-protected lists.  There is no need for a list_empty_rcu().  This
commit adds a comment stating this explicitly.
