tools/memory-model: Rename link and rcu-path to rcu-link and rb
This patch makes a simple non-functional change to the RCU portion of the Linux Kernel Memory Consistency Model by renaming the "link" and "rcu-path" relations to "rcu-link" and "rb", respectively. The name "link" was an unfortunate choice, because it was too generic and subject to confusion with other meanings of the same word, which occur quite often in LKMM documentation. The name "rcu-path" is not very appropriate, because the relation is analogous to the happens-before (hb) and propagates-before (pb) relations -- although that fact won't become apparent until the second patch in this series.
