In a later commit, it ends up like this:

config TASKS_TRACE_RCU
	bool "Enable Tasks Trace RCU"
	depends on RCU_EXPERT
	default n
	select IRQ_WORK
	help
	  This option enables a task-based RCU implementation that uses
	  explicit rcu_read_lock_trace() read-side markers, and allows
	  these readers to appear in the idle loop as well as on the CPU
	  hotplug code paths.  It can force IPIs on online CPUs, including
	  idle ones, so use with caution.

The reason being to allow people to use rcutorture without having
to have TASKS_TRACE_RCU enabled.

So you got your wish!  I think...  ;-)
