docs: locking: Discourage from calling disable_irq() in atomic

Correct the example in the documentation so that disable_irq() is not being
called in atomic context.

disable_irq() calls sleeping synchronize_irq(), it's not allowed to call
them in atomic context.

timers: Update the documentation to reflect on the new timer_shutdown() API

In order to make sure that a timer is not re-armed after it is stopped
before freeing, a new shutdown state is added to the timer code. The API
timer_shutdown_sync() and timer_shutdown() must be called before the
object that holds the timer can be freed.

Update the documentation to reflect this new workflow.

Documentation: Remove bogus claim about del_timer_sync()

del_timer_sync() does not return the number of times it tried to delete the
timer which rearms itself. It's clearly documented:

The function returns whether it has deactivated a pending timer or not.

This part of the documentation is from 2003 where del_timer_sync() really
returned the number of deletion attempts for unknown reasons. The code
was rewritten in 2005, but the documentation was not updated.

Documentation: kernel-hacking: minor edits for style

Rusty's kernel-hacking guides provide important information, however
they are written in a narrative style that some readers may interpret as
off-putting. Since the goal is to make kernel documentation accessible
to as many new developers as possible, it's best to avoid the turns of
phrase that require a specific cultural context to properly understand.

docs: Fix reST markup when linking to sections

During the process of converting the documentation to reST, some links
were converted using the following wrong syntax (and sometimes using %20
instead of spaces):

`Display text <#section-name-in-html>`__

This syntax isn't valid according to the docutils' spec [1], but more
importantly, it is specific to HTML, since it uses '#' to link to an
HTML anchor.

The right syntax would instead use a docutils hyperlink reference as the
embedded URI to point to the section [2], that is:

`Display text <Section Name_>`__

This syntax works in both HTML and PDF.

The LaTeX toolchain doesn't mind the HTML anchor syntax when generating
the pdf documentation (make pdfdocs), that is, the build succeeds but
the links don't work, but that syntax causes errors when trying to build
using the not-yet-merged rst2pdf:

ValueError: format not resolved, probably missing URL scheme or undefined destination target for 'Forcing%20Quiescent%20States'

So, use the correct syntax in order to have it work in all different
output formats.

docs: locking: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst

Convert the locking documents to ReST and add them to the
kernel development book where it belongs.

Most of the stuff here is just to make Sphinx to properly
parse the text file, as they're already in good shape,
not requiring massive changes in order to be parsed.

The conversion is actually:
- add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
- fix tables markups;
- add some lists markups;
- mark literal blocks;
- adjust title markups.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.
