For the records: We didn't have any stall warnings after 2 days and 20
hours now and so I'm quite confident, that my above patch fixed the
problem for v4.8.0. On previous boots the rcu warnings started after
37,0.2,1,2,0.8 hours uptime.
Now I've applied this patch to stable latest (v4.8.11) on another backup
machine which suffered even more rcu stalls.
