Paul E. McKenney 0c7d10e4b9 documentation: Emphasize the call_rcu() is illegal from idle
Although call_rcu()'s fastpath works just fine on an idle CPU,
some branches of the slowpath invoke the scheduler, which uses
RCU.  Therefore, this commit emphasizes the fact that call_rcu()
must not be invoked from an idle CPU.
