rcu: Add comment documenting rcu_callback_map's purpose
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 24ef659a ("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."
