Ok, mine is definitely because of hotplug. The issue you are seeing is
probably more important, though, sorry for hijacking your thread. You
should be able to do the SysRq thing as well, though. SysRq-w (dump
blocked tasks) and SysRq-d (held locks) here:

=============================================

So it seems (in my case) to be waiting for &finished to complete
(__stop_machine()):

/* This will release the thread on our CPU. */
put_cpu();
wait_for_completion(&finished);
mutex_unlock(&lock);
