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.

Correct spelling problems for Documentation/RCU/ as reported

Note: in RTFP.txt, there are other misspellings that are left as is
since they were used that way in email Subject: lines or in LWN.net

In order to make sure that a timer is not re-armed after it is stopped
before freeing, a new shutdown state is added to the timer code. The API
timer_shutdown_sync() and timer_shutdown() must be called before the
object that holds the timer can be freed.

Update the documentation to reflect this new workflow.
