This description should start with:
    "In kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_TIME=y, "

Also, that parameter name seems like it contains a time value, but
it's really just treated as zero vs. anything else. Consider renaming
it to rcu_cpu_stall_cputime_en or describing the values in the
description ("0 disables, all other values enable").

That should be "unsigned long" to match the other patch

Those should all start with "\t" to match other related prints.
