It has long been the case that the architecture must call nmi_enter()
and nmi_exit() rather than irq_enter() and irq_exit() in order to
permit RCU read-side critical sections in NMIs. Catch the documentation
up with reality.

Change all "arch/i386" to "arch/x86" in Documentaion/,
since the directory has changed.
Also update the files which have changed their filename
in the meantime accordingly.

Uses of RCU for dynamically changeable NMI handlers need to use the new
rcu_dereference() and rcu_assign_pointer() facilities. This change makes
it clear that these uses are safe from a memory-barrier viewpoint, but the
main purpose is to document exactly what operations are being protected by
RCU. This has been tested on x86 and x86-64, which are the only
architectures affected by this change.
