This is no longer a USB issue, so I'm asking for help from the general kernel community. Background can be found in Bugzilla #11853.

The task dump shows rmmod waiting for flush_workqueue(). But the events/0 task doesn't appear to be hung, and the task dump taken before running rmmod shows events/0 doing something different.
So apparently flush_workqueue() isn't working.
