Continuing the above printk()s I found the culprit.

synchronize_rcu() {
    rcu_poll_gp_seq_start_unlocked() {
	struct rcu_node *rnp = rcu_get_root();

	if (rcu_init_invoked()) {
		lockdep_assert_irqs_enabled();
		raw_spin_lock_irq_rcu_node(rnp);
	}
	rcu_poll_gp_seq_start(snap);
	if (rcu_init_invoked())
		raw_spin_unlock_irq_rcu_node(rnp);  <<-- Interrupts enabled here
   }
