We already have a sysctl for it, and you should *already* be able to
use a boot parameter for it with just

        sysctl.kernel.panic_on_rcu_stall=true

Not that I've tried it, so maybe there's some bug somewhere (or
something I've overlooked), but I really think the whole kernel config
option was entirely redundant to begin with.
