rcu: Update comments and help text for no more RCU-bh updaters

Browse Source 
This commit updates comments and help text to account for the fact that
RCU-bh update-side functions are now simple wrappers for their RCU or
RCU-sched counterparts.

/**
* synchronize_rcu_bh_expedited - Brute-force RCU-bh grace period
*
* Wait for an RCU-bh grace period to elapse, but use a "big hammer"
* approach to force the grace period to end quickly. This consumes
* significant time on all CPUs and is unfriendly to real-time workloads,
* so is thus not recommended for any sort of common-case code. In fact,
* if you are using synchronize_rcu_bh_expedited() in a loop, please
* restructure your code to batch your updates, and then use a single
* synchronize_rcu_bh() instead.
*
* Note that it is illegal to call this function while holding any lock
* that is acquired by a CPU-hotplug notifier. And yes, it is also illegal
* to call this function from a CPU-hotplug notifier. Failing to observe
* these restriction will result in deadlock.
* This is a transitional API and will soon be removed, with all
* callers converted to synchronize_rcu_expedited().
