Mark Rutland da422ade5c Documentation/features/locking: update lists
The locking feature lists don't match reality as of v5.3-rc1:

* arm64 moved to queued spinlocks in commit:
  c11090474d
  ("arm64: locking: Replace ticket lock implementation with qspinlock")

* xtensa moved to queued spinlocks and rwlocks in commit:
  579afe866f
  ("xtensa: use generic spinlock/rwlock implementation")

* architecture-specific rwsem support was removed in commit:
  46ad0840b1
  ("locking/rwsem: Remove arch specific rwsem files")

So update the feature lists accordingly, and remove the now redundant
rwsem-optimized list.

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 Restructured Text 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.
