In kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=n, spinlock critical sections are RCU readers because they disable preemption. However, they are also RCU readers in CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y because the -rt locking primitives contain rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock(). Therefore, upgrade rcu_dereference.rst to document this non-obvious case.
