I have updated the description of RCU access helpers and have addressed CI
errors as well. Could you please check this and let me know if it looks okay.
Patches 2,3 and 4 have already been acked in earlier version of this this patch
set and they have not changed in this version. It is just Patch 1 that needs
further review. Thanks again for your help.
