Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 15/22] doc: Ensure whatisRCU.txt actually says what RCU is

From: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@...driver.com>

It came to my attention that the file "whatisRCU.txt" does not
manage to actually ever spell out what is RCU.

This might not be an issue for a lot of people, but we have to
assume the consumers of these documents are starting from ground
zero; otherwise they'd not be reading the docs.
