By the time we get to xhci_mem_cleanup, we've done our best effort to
halt the xHCI host controller.  That could timeout, I suppose, but I'm
not sure what we're expected to do in that case.  If the host won't
halt, I'm not sure it will be able to, say, respond to the request to
cancel the current command.
