doc: Make whatisRCU.rst note that spinlocks are RCU readers
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 in that case the locking
primitives contain rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock(). Therefore,
upgrade whatisRCU.rst to document this non-obvious case.
