The UP.rst file calls for locks acquired within RCU callback functions
to use _irq variants (spin_lock_irqsave() or similar), which does work,
but can be overkill.  This commit therefore instead calls for _bh variants
(spin_lock_bh() or similar), while noting that _irq does work.

Should this by Suggested-by?

I wrote it and Jiunn converted my change to .rst, so I believe that
this is correct as is.


Great.
