This series provides a couple of documentation updates: 1. Provide an updated description of RCU's grace-period guarantee based on recent memory-model work. This does not change the way that RCU behaves, but rather presents a more accurate view of how it works. The difference is subtle, so most people won't need to care. 2. Fix a "deference" -> "dereference" typo, courtesy of Pranith Kumar.
