Cover letter [PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/4] Documentation changes for 3.17

Hello!

This series provides a few documentation updates:

1. Clarify that if there is nothing awakened, then there is no
memory barrier.

2. Fix broken RTFP URL, courtesy of Pranith Kumar.

3. Add acquire/release barrier to memory-barrier pairing rules.

4. Add pointer to percpu-ref in rcuref.txt documentation.

Thanx, Paul
