[PATCH RFC memory-model 30/31] tools/memory-model: Use cumul-fence instead of fence in ->prop example

[Paul E. McKenney]

From: "Joel Fernandes (Google)" <joel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

To reduce ambiguity in the more exotic ->prop ordering example, this
commit uses the term cumul-fence instead of the term fence for the two
fences, so that the implict ->rfe on loads/stores to Y are covered by
the description.
