Remember when I said I had a bunch of debugging turned on in this
kernel. Well, I also included my ftrace trace_event benchmark code.
Which appears to be what is triggering this.

[ 205.159860] INFO: rcu_tasks detected stalls on tasks:

The thread gets created when I enable the benchmark tracepoint. It just
so happens that my test enables *all* tracepoints, which would of
course include this one as well.

I'll have to look at this code to see why it is getting missed.
