That merge commit actually does add some code:

git show d6dd50e07c5bec00db2005969b1a01f8ca3d25ef
[...]
diff --cc init/main.c
index 8af2f1abfe38,e3c4cdd94d5b..c5c11da6c4e1
--- a/init/main.c
+++ b/init/main.c

  	init_IRQ();
  	tick_init();
++	rcu_init_nohz();
  	init_timers();
  	hrtimers_init();
  	softirq_init();

Wild guess: is CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU perhaps set in your
v3.18-rc3 .config?
