doc: Make reader aware of rcu_dereference_protected The whatisRCU.txt document says rcu_dereference() cannot be used outside of rcu_read_lock() protected sections. The commit adds a mention of rcu_dereference_protected(), so that the new reader knows that this API can be used to avoid update-side use of rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock().
