[PATCH rcu 2/3] doc: Document the rcutree.rcu_divisor kernel boot parameter

[Paul E. McKenney]

This commit adds kernel-parameters.txt documentation for the
rcutree.rcu_divisor kernel boot parameter, which controls the softirq
callback-invocation batch limit.

+			scheduler will preempt as it does any other task.
