Unless it was duplicate on purpose, to emphasize that a raw_spinlock_t
is always a spinning lock regardless of PREEMPT_RT or kernel config,
it's a bit odd that this text is duplicate. So, this patch just clean
it up, keeping the consistency with the other sections of the text.

With PREEMPT_RT the _bh() version of a spinlock leaves preemption
enabled, align the doc to say that instead of the opposite.

The initial implementation of migrate_disable() for mainline was a
wrapper around preempt_disable(). RT kernels substituted this with
a real migrate disable implementation.
Later on mainline gained true migrate disable support, but the
documentation was not updated.
Update the documentation, remove the claims about migrate_disable()
mapping to preempt_disable() on non-PREEMPT_RT kernels.
Fixes: 74d862b682f51 ("sched: Make migrate_disable/enable() independent of RT")

Fix issues with local_locks documentation:
- fix function names, local_lock.h has local_unlock_irqrestore(),
not local_lock_irqrestore()
- fix mapping table, local_unlock_irqrestore() maps to local_irq_restore(),
not _save()

preempt_disable() and local_irq_disable/save() are in principle per CPU big
kernel locks. This has several downsides:
- The protection scope is unknown
- Violation of protection rules is hard to detect by instrumentation
- For PREEMPT_RT such sections, unless in low level critical code, can
violate the preemptability constraints.
To address this PREEMPT_RT introduced the concept of local_locks which are
strictly per CPU.
The lock operations map to preempt_disable(), local_irq_disable/save() and
the enabling counterparts on non RT enabled kernels.
If lockdep is enabled local locks gain a lock map which tracks the usage
context. This will catch cases where an area is protected by
preempt_disable() but the access also happens from interrupt context. local
locks have identified quite a few such issues over the years, the most
recent example is:
b7d5dc21072cd ("random: add a spinlock_t to struct batched_entropy")
Aside of the lockdep coverage this also improves code readability as it
precisely annotates the protection scope.
PREEMPT_RT substitutes these local locks with 'sleeping' spinlocks to
protect such sections while maintaining preemtability and CPU locality.
local locks can replace:
- preempt_enable()/disable() pairs
- local_irq_disable/enable() pairs
- local_irq_save/restore() pairs
They are also used to replace code which implicitly disables preemption
like:
- get_cpu()/put_cpu()
- get_cpu_var()/put_cpu_var()
with PREEMPT_RT friendly constructs.

Minor editorial fixes:
- remove 'enabled' from PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels for consistency
- add some periods for consistency
- add "'" for possessive CPU's
- spell out interrupts

The documentation of rw_semaphores is wrong as it claims that the non-owner
reader release is not supported by RT. That's just history biased memory
distortion.
Split the 'Owner semantics' section up and add separate sections for
semaphore and rw_semaphore to reflect reality.
Aside of that the following updates are done:
- Add pseudo code to document the spinlock state preserving mechanism on
PREEMPT_RT
- Wordsmith the bitspinlock and lock nesting sections

The kernel provides a variety of locking primitives. The nesting of these
lock types and the implications of them on RT enabled kernels is nowhere
documented.
Add initial documentation.
