Forgot to update the comment after renaming the call.

rcuwait provides support for (single) RCU-safe task wait/wake functionality,
with the caveat that it must not be called after exit_notify(), such that
we avoid racing with rcu delayed_put_task_struct callbacks, task_struct
being rcu unaware in this context -- for which we similarly have
task_rcu_dereference() magic, but with different return semantics, which
can conflict with the wakeup side.
The interfaces are quite straightforward:
rcuwait_wait_event()
rcuwait_wake_up()
More details are in the comments, but it's perhaps worth mentioning at least,
that users must provide proper serialization when waiting on a condition, and
avoid corrupting a concurrent waiter. Also care must be taken between the task
and the condition for when calling the wakeup -- we cannot miss wakeups. When
porting users, this is for example, a given when using waitqueues in that
everything is done under the q->lock. As such, it can remove sources of non
preemptable unbounded work for realtime.
