In case it helps...

I looked over the rest of the rcutorture scenarios, and it looks like
the problems occur for NO_HZ_FULL and more than two CPUs (though larger
numbers of CPUs might well just be increasing the probability of this
happening).  The TEST07 scenario (which had the segfaults) also had CPU
hotplug enabled, but !NO_HZ_FULL scenarios with CPU hotplug enabled did
just fine (or at least had a much lower probability of occurrence).
