FWIW, I think we'll keep hitting variants of this, as syzbot tests with
tons of debugging enabled (for good reason), which slows things down a
_lot_. Then it floods the ring with work, and cancelation/exit can then
take a long time. Whenever I've tested these reproducers, they finish
quite quick. Until you enable all the gunk and run it on a slow CPU or
two. Hence not a real bug imho.
