srcu: Shrink srcu.h by moving docbook and private function
The call_srcu() docbook entry is currently in include/linux/srcu.h, which causes needless processing for each include point. This commit therefore moves this entry to kernel/rcu/srcutree.c, which the compiler reads only once. In addition, the srcu_batches_completed() function is used only within RCU and its torture-test suites. This commit therefore also moves this function's declaration from include/linux/srcutiny.h, include/linux/srcutree.h, and include/linux/srcuclassic.h to kernel/rcu/rcu.h. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

+ * read-side critical sections have completed. However, the callback
+ * function might well execute concurrently with other SRCU read-side

+ * read-side critical sections are delimited by srcu_read_lock() and
+ * srcu_read_unlock(), and may be nested.

+ * The callback will be invoked from process context, but must nevertheless
+ * be fast and must not block.
