[PATCH] tools/memory-model: Remove out-of-date SRCU documentation

[Andrea Parri]

Commit 6cd244c87428 ("tools/memory-model: Provide exact SRCU semantics")
changed the semantics of partially overlapping SRCU read-side critical
sections (among other things), making such documentation out-of-date.
The new, semantic changes are discussed in explanation.txt.  Remove the
out-of-date documentation.
