rcu: Update documentation of rcu_read_unlock()
[ Upstream commit ec84b27f9b3b569f9235413d1945a2006b97b0aa ]
Since commit b4abf91047cf ("rtmutex: Make wait_lock irq safe") the
explanation in rcu_read_unlock() documentation about irq unsafe rtmutex
wait_lock is no longer valid.
Remove it to prevent kernel developers reading the documentation to rely on
it.
