Cover letter [PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/4] Documentation updates for 3.8

Hello!

This patch series contains documentation updates as follows:

1. Fix a broken example in memory-barriers.txt.
2. Fix a paper title in RTFP.txt. (Courtesy of Dhaval Giani.)
3. Mention kfree_rcu() in the whatisRCU.txt section covering
call_rcu(), and fix example code. (Courtesy of Kees Cook.)
4. Add two more ways of combining RCU and reference counting
in rcuref.txt.

Thanx, Paul
