2c96c7751d rcu: upgrade stallwarn.txt documentation for CPU-bound RT processes
CPU-bound real-time processes can cause RCU CPU stall warnings, and
much other trouble as well.  Document the fact that they can cause
RCU CPU stall warnings.

f1d507beea rcu: improve the RCU CPU-stall warning documentation
The existing Documentation/RCU/stallwarn.txt has proven unhelpful, so
rework it a bit.  In particular, show how to interpret the stall-warning
messages.
