The rcu_callback_map lockdep_map structure was added back in 2013, but
its purpose has become obscure. This commit therefore documments that the
purpose of rcu_callback map is, in the words of commit 24ef659a85 ("rcu:
Provide better diagnostics for blocking in RCU callback functions"),
to help lockdep to tie an "inappropriate voluntary context switch back
to the fact that the function is being invoked from within a callback."

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
