doc: rcu: Update core and full API in whatisRCU
RCU consolidation effort causes the update side of the RCU API to be consistent across all the 3 RCU flavors (normal, sched, bh). This commit therefore updates the full API in the whatisRCU document, thus encouraging people to use the consolidated RCU update API instead of the old RCU-bh and RCU-sched update APIs. Also rcu_dereference is documented to be the same for all 3 mechanisms (even before the consolidation), however its actually different - as using the right rcu_dereference primitive (such as rcu_dereference_bh for bh) is needed to make lock debugging work correctly. This update also corrects that. Also, add local_bh_disable() and local_bh_enable() as softirq protection primitives and correct a grammar error in a quiz answer.
