 I tried this myself over the weekend - I compiled a kernel with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU set to n and that commit reverted, unfortunately, after a few hours of being left idle it had locked up. After that I also did a test with that commit applied again, and CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU set to y (with the kernel command line also being set) and it ran well for 12+ hours. So it definitely feels like that config option fixes it.
