I just got back to my lab and tried your test. It's failing because the
blk-mq hot cpu notifier callback freezes the queues and waits for all
who've entered to exit (i.e., no outstanding requests). The NVMe driver
submits async admin commands that don't have a timeout, so this queue
never has zero references until the driver shuts the controller down.
I don't have a good idea how to fix this right now. I'll look into it
unless Jens or someone else has a suggestion.
