rcu: Better define "atomic" for list replacement

The kernel-doc headers for list_replace_rcu() and hlist_replace_rcu()
claim that the replacement is atomic, which it is, but only for readers.
Avoid confusion by making it clear that the atomic nature of these
functions applies only to readers, not to concurrent updaters.
