Ah! but I think I found a bug in synchronize_rcu_tasks()!

Calling schedule isn't good enough. For rcu_tasks to continue, the task
needs to schedule out. With my updated code, I just triggered:

[  196.276868] INFO: rcu_tasks detected stalls on tasks:

And here my benchmark called schedule(), but nothing scheduled it out,
and it still fails on rcu_tasks.
