Subject: [PATCH 1/4] Documentation/rtla: Fix duplicate text about timerlat tracer

A passage about how the timerlat tracer outputs information is included
in both common_timerlat_description.rst and rtla-timerlat.rst, leading
it to be displayed twice in the rtla-timerlat page.

Remove the duplicate passage from rtla-timerlat.rst.

 The **rtla timerlat top** mode displays a summary of the periodic output
 from the *timerlat* tracer. The **rtla hist hist** mode displays a histogram
 of each tracer event occurrence. For further details, please refer to the
