commit 764f80798b958f74dbf0c6e76a8294d183dd9c16
Author: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Date: Tue Jul 4 14:42:20 2017 -0700

doc: Add RCU files to docbook-generation files

Suggested-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

But the current condition is bad.
