[PATCH] Documentation/rv: Replace stale website link

[PATCH] Documentation/rv: Replace stale website link

[Gabriele Monaco]

The sched monitor page was linking to Daniel's website which is now
down. The main purpose of the link was to point to a source for the
models from the original author and that can be found also in his
published paper.

Replace the link with a reference to Daniel's "A thread synchronization
model for the PREEMPT_RT Linux kernel" which can be found online and
includes the models definitions as well as the work behind them (not the
original patches but since they're based on a 5.0 kernel and are mostly
included upstream, there's little value in keeping them in the docs).

Since, as you say, it can be found online, is there a reason not to
include a link here?

Mmh, perhaps being overly cautious for the link not to break again?

The paper is published so I assume it's always going to be available in
some way. It is currently hosted by the university at [1], which may be
unlikely to change, and can be found via DOI at [2], which should never
change (at least that's what I believe a DOI is for) but brings to the
publisher's website rather than the open-access PDF.

I think the reference to the paper I included is robust yet easy to use
with any scientific or even general purpose search engine. But if you
believe using either of the two links is more appropriate, I can send a
V2 with the change.

Thanks,
Gabriele

I will defer to others in the end, but to me it seems that we should
make life easier for our readers whenever we can.  Providing a link
seems better than requiring them to search for it themselves.

Thanks,
