[PATCH v4] docs: rcu: Replace multiple dead OLS links in RTFP.txt

[Nikil Paul S]

This patch updates several dead OLS links in RTFP.txt, replacing them
with working copies hosted on kernel.org.

Originally posted as part of a 2-patch series, this is now being sent
as a standalone v4 patch to avoid confusion.

Changes since v3:
 - No change in content, only resubmitted as a single patch instead of
   "2/2" from the earlier series.

So this looks good to me, but it should really be run past the RCU folks
(and Paul in particular) as well; adding him to the CC.

Thanks,

I queued this and checked it and it looks good.  By default, I would
send this during the upcoming merge window.  But if you would rather
take it:

Either way, let me know!
