History
William Allen Simpson fb0bbb92d4 Documentation: rw_lock lessons learned 
In recent months, two different network projects erroneously
strayed down the rw_lock path.  Update the Documentation
based upon comments by Eric Dumazet and Paul E. McKenney in
those threads.

Further updates await somebody else with more expertise.

Changes:
  - Merged with extensive content by Stephen Hemminger.
  - Fix one of the comments by Linus Torvalds.
