Drive-by feedback here without any full review of your patch...
Someone had your patch applied and sent me a stack trace with a
warning on it.  That warning showed:

workqueue: WQ_MEM_RECLAIM kblockd:blk_mq_run_work_fn is flushing
!WQ_MEM_RECLAIM events:sdhci_msm_bus_work

The trace shown was:

I believe the way to interpret this is that you need to be running
your work on a workqueue marked for memory reclaim.  That means you
can't use the system_wq to queue your work.  Without being an expert,
a quick guess would be that you should be queueing your work on the
"kblockd_workqueue" using one of the functions for this.
