doc: Remove obsolete RCU update functions from RCU documentation

Now that synchronize_rcu_bh, synchronize_rcu_bh_expedited, call_rcu_bh,
rcu_barrier_bh, synchronize_sched, synchronize_sched_expedited,
call_rcu_sched, rcu_barrier_sched, get_state_synchronize_sched,
and cond_synchronize_sched are obsolete, let's remove them from the
documentation aside from a small historical section.

 Important note: for this to work, the architecture in question must
 invoke nmi_enter() and nmi_exit() on NMI entry and exit, respectively.
