rcu: Document failing tick as cause of RCU CPU stall warning
One of lclaudio's systems was seeing RCU CPU stall warnings from idle. These turned out to be caused by a bug that stopped scheduling-clock tick interrupts from being sent to a given CPU for several hundred seconds. This commit therefore updates the documentation to call this out as a possible cause for RCU CPU stall warnings. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
