448e9f34d9 rcu: Standardize explicit CPU-hotplug calls
rcu_report_dead() and rcutree_migrate_callbacks() have their headers in
rcupdate.h while those are pure rcutree calls, like the other CPU-hotplug
functions.

Also rcu_cpu_starting() and rcu_report_dead() have different naming
conventions while they mirror each other's effects.

Fix the headers and propose a naming that relates both functions and
aligns with the prefix of other rcutree CPU-hotplug functions.

c4af9e0089 Documentation: RCU: Correct spelling
Correct spelling problems for Documentation/RCU/ as reported
by codespell.

Note: in RTFP.txt, there are other misspellings that are left as is
since they were used that way in email Subject: lines or in LWN.net
articles. [preemptable, Preemptable, synchonisation]

404147faaa docs: Update RCU cross-references as suggested in doc-guide
The RCU documentation contains old-style cross references which
do not follow the best practices outlined in doc-guide/sphinx.rst.
In addition, some of the cross references use URLs that should be replaced
by pathnames.

Update all of these cross references and adjust the surrounding words.

Summary of changes:

  - out-of-date plaintext file names (*.txt) -> *.rst
  - references by :ref: tags -> path names of *.rst
    * use relative paths to .rst files under the RCU/ subdirectory
    * use abs paths of Documentation/xxx for other .rst files
  - references by URL under https://www.kernel.org/ -> paths of *.rst
  - adjust surrounding words of some of updated references.

Note:
  The automarkup.py script interprets references via "*.txt" as if they
were via "*.rst", so the *.txt -> *.rst changes should be regarded as
cleanups rather than bug fixes.

81ad58be2f doc: Use CONFIG_PREEMPTION
CONFIG_PREEMPTION is selected by CONFIG_PREEMPT and by CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT.
Both PREEMPT and PREEMPT_RT require the same functionality which today
depends on CONFIG_PREEMPT.

Update the documents and mention CONFIG_PREEMPTION. Spell out
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT (instead PREEMPT_RT) since it is an option now.

ccc9971e21 docs: rcu: convert some articles from html to ReST
There are 4 RCU articles that are written on html format.

The way they are, they can't be part of the Linux Kernel
documentation body nor share the styles and pdf output.

So, convert them to ReST format.

This way, make htmldocs and make pdfdocs will produce a
documentation output that will be like the original ones, but
will be part of the Linux Kernel documentation body.

Part of the conversion was done with the help of pandoc, but
the result had some broken things that had to be manually
fixed.

Following are manual changes Mauro made when doing the automatic conversion:
