It would make more sense to do the flush inside the cycle after each
dump_cpu_task(). Something like:
rcu_for_each_leaf_node(rnp) {
for_each_leaf_node_possible_cpu(rnp, cpu) {
mask = leaf_node_cpu_bit(rnp, cpu);
if (!(READ_ONCE(rnp->expmask) & mask))
continue;
preempt_disable(); // For smp_processor_id() in
dump_cpu_task().
dump_cpu_task(cpu);
preempt_enable();
+ nbcon_cpu_emergency_flush();
}
rcu_exp_print_detail_task_stall_rnp(rnp);
}
Or maybe, it is limited onto to few CPUs by rcu_for_each_leaf_node(rnp)?

Otherwise, it looks good to me.
