I tested with setting '5*TREE01 5*TREE02 5*TREE03 5*TREE04' apart of that
i used some private test cases. The rcutree.rcu_normal_wake_from_gp=1 has
to be passed also.

Also, "rcuscale" can be used to stress the "cur_ops->sync()" path:

<snip>
#! /usr/bin/env bash

LOOPS=1

for (( i=0; i<$LOOPS; i++ )); do
        tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/bin/kvm.sh --memory 10G --torture rcuscale \
    --allcpus \
      --kconfig CONFIG_NR_CPUS=64 \
      --kconfig CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y \
      --kconfig CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL=y \
      --kconfig CONFIG_RCU_LAZY=n \
      --bootargs "rcuscale.nwriters=200 rcuscale.nreaders=220 rcuscale.minruntime=50000 \
                         torture.disable_onoff_at_boot rcutree.rcu_normal_wake_from_gp=1" --trust-make
        echo "Done $i"
done
