sync: document RWMutex race semantics

Browse Source 
RWMutex provides explicit acquire/release synchronization events to the
race detector to model the mutex. It disables sync events within the
methods to avoid e.g., the atomics from adding false synchronization
events, which could cause false negatives in the race detector.
