I've been staring at this, and this is actually fine. Your config changes
from CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE to CONFIG_PREEMPT_LAZY which implies
CONFIG_PREEMPTION. The trivial RCU test there does sched_setaffinity()
while preemption is enabled and CPU-hotplug runs in the background. So
you get what you expect either by an attempt to move to a CPU which is
no longer valid or by getting migrated to another CPU in the middle of
your operation.

This is all fine. You need to update your config file or your test.
