Nah, a long long time ago some -rt people complained to paulmck that
keeping preemption disabled over all this RCU stuff was killing
latencies. Paul liked the challenge and came up with some mind twisting
stuff to make it work.

If you're into that kind of pain, look at CONFIG_*_PREEMPT_RCU :-)

But yeah, you need to have that stuff enabled before you can hit this
particular snag.
