docs/RCU/rcubarrier: Adjust 'Answer' parts of QQs as definition-lists
The "Answer" parts of QQs divert from proper format of definition-lists as described at [1] and are not rendered as such. Adjust them.

Interestingly enough, rcu_barrier() was not originally

RCU in a filesystem, which resulted in a similar situation at

Suppose that the on_each_cpu() function shown on line 8 was

This cannot happen. The reason is that on_each_cpu() has its last
