Now that RCU Tasks Trace is implemented in terms of SRCU-fast, the fact
that each SRCU-fast grace period implies at least two RCU grace periods
in turn means that each RCU Tasks Trace grace period implies at least
two grace periods. This commit therefore updates the documentation
accordingly.

Here is a list of conventions applied here:
- Don't mark up function names, to be taken care of by the automarkup
extension. Just say func().
- Instead of ".. code-block:: none", just say "::".
- Mark inline literals by a pair of ``xxxx``. Don't use rust doc's
dialect of `yyyy`.
- Instead of emphasizing headings by **strong emphasis**, use sub-level
title adornments, in this case "^^^^^^^^^^" and make them proper
sub-sections under "Hotplug CPU".

The synchronization of CPU offlining with GP initialization is confusing
to put it mildly (rightfully so as the issue it deals with is complex).
Recent discussions brought up a question -- what prevents the
rcu_implicit_dyntick_qs() from warning about QS reports for offline
CPUs (missing QS reports for offline CPUs causing indefinite hangs).
QS reporting for now-offline CPUs should only happen from:
- gp_init()
- rcutree_cpu_report_dead()
Add some documentation on this and refer to it from comments in the code
explaining how QS reporting is not missed when these functions are
concurrently running.
I referred heavily to this post [1] about the need for the ofl_lock.

When the grace period kthread checks the extended quiescent state
counter of a CPU, full ordering is necessary to ensure that either:
* If the GP kthread observes the remote target in an extended quiescent
state, then that target must observe all accesses prior to the current
grace period, including the current grace period sequence number, once
it exits that extended quiescent state.
or:
* If the GP kthread observes the remote target NOT in an extended
quiescent state, then the target further entering in an extended
quiescent state must observe all accesses prior to the current
grace period, including the current grace period sequence number, once
it enters that extended quiescent state.
This ordering is enforced through a full memory barrier placed right
before taking the first EQS snapshot. However this is superfluous
because the snapshot is taken while holding the target's rnp lock which
provides the necessary ordering through its chain of
smp_mb__after_unlock_lock().
Remove the needless explicit barrier before the snapshot and put a
comment about the implicit barrier newly relied upon here.

rcu_report_dead() and rcutree_migrate_callbacks() have their headers in
rcupdate.h while those are pure rcutree calls, like the other CPU-hotplug
functions.
Also rcu_cpu_starting() and rcu_report_dead() have different naming
conventions while they mirror each other's effects.
Fix the headers and propose a naming that relates both functions and
aligns with the prefix of other rcutree CPU-hotplug functions.
