doc: Update information about resched_cpu 

Since commit fced9c8cfe ("rcu: Avoid resched_cpu() when rescheduling
the current CPU"), resched_cpu is not directly called from
sync_sched_exp_handler. Update the documentation about the same.

If the CPU is idle, then <tt>sync_sched_exp_handler()</tt> reports
the quiescent state.
<p>
Otherwise, the handler invokes <tt>resched_cpu()</tt>, which forces
a future context switch.
<p> Otherwise, the handler forces a future context switch by setting the
NEED_RESCHED flag of the current task's thread flag and the CPU preempt
counter.
At the time of the context switch, the CPU reports the quiescent state.
Should the CPU go offline first, it will report the quiescent state
at that time.
