[PATCH tip/core/rcu 05/10] documentation: Document illegality of call_rcu() from offline CPUs

[Paul E. McKenney]

There is already a blanket statement about no member of RCU's API
being legal from an offline CPU, but add an explicit note where it
states that it is illegal to invoke call_rcu() from an NMI handler.
