rcu: Improve comments describing RCU read-side critical sections
There are a number of places that call out the fact that preempt-disable regions of code now act as RCU read-side critical sections, where preempt-disable regions of code include irq-disable regions of code, bh-disable regions of code, hardirq handlers, and NMI handlers. However, someone relying solely on (for example) the call_rcu() header comment might well have no idea that preempt-disable regions of code have RCU semantics. This commit therefore updates the header comments for call_rcu(), synchronize_rcu(), rcu_dereference_bh_check(), and rcu_dereference_sched_check() to call out these new(ish) forms of RCU readers.
