help
There is a class of races that involve an unlikely preemption
of __rcu_read_unlock() just after ->rcu_read_lock_nesting has
been set to INT_MIN. This feature inserts a delay at that
point to increase the probability of these races.
Say Y to increase probability of preemption of __rcu_read_unlock().
