Would you mind trying it with my script to do veth devices? kill udev and do
unshare -n first.

I've done this on 2 different lots of hardware now, with 3 kernels 18

$ grep RCU .config
# RCU Subsystem
CONFIG_TREE_RCU=y
# CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU is not set
# CONFIG_RCU_TRACE is not set
CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT=64
# CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_EXACT is not set
