rcu: Add lockdep checks and kernel-doc header to rcu_softirq_qs()

Browse Source 
There is some indications that rcu_softirq_qs() might be more generally
used than anticipated.  This commit therefore adds some lockdep assertions
and some cautionary tales in a new kernel-doc header.

/**
* rcu_softirq_qs - Provide a set of RCU quiescent states in softirq processing
*
* Mark a quiescent state for RCU, Tasks RCU, and Tasks Trace RCU.
* This is a special-purpose function to be used in the softirq
* infrastructure and perhaps the occasional long-running softirq
* handler.
*
* Note that from RCU's viewpoint, a call to rcu_softirq_qs() is
* equivalent to momentarily completely enabling preemption. For
* example, given this code::
*
* local_bh_disable();
* do_something();
* rcu_softirq_qs(); // A
* do_something_else();
* local_bh_enable(); // B
*
* A call to synchronize_rcu() that began concurrently with the
* call to do_something() would be guaranteed to wait only until
* execution reached statement A. Without that rcu_softirq_qs(),
* that same synchronize_rcu() would instead be guaranteed to wait
* until execution reached statement B.
