doc: rcu: Encourage use of rcu_barrier in checklist
The checklist suggests rcu_barrier_bh() for RCU-bh and similarly for sched, however these APIs are now implemented as rcu_barrier() itself due to the RCU consolidation. This commit therefore corrects checklist.txt to encourage use of the underlying rcu_barrier() API. Signed-off-by: Joel Fernandes (Google) <joel@joelfernandes.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

You instead need to use one of the barrier functions:
o call_rcu() -> rcu_barrier()
- o call_rcu_bh() -> rcu_barrier_bh()
- o call_rcu_sched() -> rcu_barrier_sched()
+ o call_rcu_bh() -> rcu_barrier()
+ o call_rcu_sched() -> rcu_barrier()
o call_srcu() -> srcu_barrier()
However, these barrier functions are absolutely -not- guaranteed
