CONFIG_RCU_TRACE is still very much alive in its new home at
kernel/rcu/Kconfig.debug:

config RCU_TRACE
bool "Enable tracing for RCU"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
default y if TREE_RCU
select TRACE_CLOCK
help
This option enables additional tracepoints for ftrace-style
event tracing.

Say Y here if you want to enable RCU tracing
Say N if you are unsure.

That said, I need to make it default to "y" if PREEMPT_RCU as well as
the current TREE_RCU. Would that help?

Thanx, Paul
