I don't see the rcutree.sysrq_rcu parameter in v4.19 kernel, I also checked the latest kernel and the latest tag v4.20-rc6, not see the sysrq_rcu.
Please correct me if I have something wrong.

Or, as it turns out, sysrq-y if booting with rcutree.sysrq_rcu=1 using the patch below.  Only lightly tested.

commit adfc7dff659495a3433d5084256be59eee0ac6df

    rcu: Improve diagnostics for failed RCU grace-period start
    
    Backported from v4.21/v5.0
    
    If a grace period fails to start (for example, because you commented
    out the last two lines of rcu_accelerate_cbs_unlocked()), rcu_core()
    will invoke rcu_check_gp_start_stall(), which will notice and complain.
    However, this complaint is lacking crucial debugging information such
    as when the last wakeup executed and what the value of ->gp_seq was at
    that time.  This commit therefore removes the current pr_alert() from
    rcu_check_gp_start_stall(), instead invoking show_rcu_gp_kthreads(),
    which has been updated to print the needed information, which is collected
    by rcu_gp_kthread_wake().
