doc: Update removal of RCU-bh/sched update machinery
The RCU-bh update API is now defined in terms of that of RCU-bh and
RCU-sched, so this commit updates the documentation accordingly.
In addition, although RCU-sched persists in !PREEMPT kernels, in
the PREEMPT case its update API is now defined in terms of that of
RCU-preempt, so this commit also updates the documentation accordingly.
While in the area, this commit removes the documentation for the
now-obsolete synchronize_rcu_mult() and clarifies the Tasks RCU
documentation.
