documentation: Update rcutree.kthread_prio for grace-period kthread use
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Now that the rcutree.kthread_prio kernel boot parameter also controls
the priority of the grace-period kthreads, update the documentation to
reflect this change.

Set the SCHED_FIFO priority of the RCU per-CPU
