I remember this patch from Joe come up with a pending patch in
net-next.git#master [1] (I mention this as I have not seen hit it in
latest Linux-Next whereas this latest mmotm includes it [2]).

$ grep "config HZ_" kernel/Kconfig.hz
        config HZ_100
        config HZ_250
        config HZ_300
        config HZ_1000

As I see Randy has in his kernel-config:

# CONFIG_HZ_100 is not set
# CONFIG_HZ_250 is not set
CONFIG_HZ_300=y
# CONFIG_HZ_1000 is not set
CONFIG_HZ=300

So there is a problem for the value "300" (only)?
