Akira Yokosawa 13a9a11358 tools/memory-model: docs/README: Update introduction of locking.txt
Commit 9bc931e9e1 ("tools/memory-model: Add locking.txt and
glossary.txt to README") failed to mention the relation of the "Locking"
section in recipes.txt and locking.txt.

The latter is a detailed version of the former intended to be read on
its own.

Reword the description in README and add notes in locking.txt and
recipes.txt to clarify their relationship.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
