Please see below for the version of this patch that I am running overnight
tests with.  Does this one work for you?

commit 1aa13731e665193cd833edac5ebc86a9c3fea2b7

    rcutorture: Add a test config to torture test low RCU_DYNTICKS width
    
    We now have an RCU_EXPORT knob for configuring the size of the dynticks
    counter: CONFIG_RCU_DYNTICKS_BITS.
    
    Modify scenario TREE04 to exercise a a ridiculously small counter
    (2 bits).
