I don't think this is the reason for the hang, I think it just exposed
it. I posted a patch to fix this, hopefully, it's included below as
well. Can you give it a try?

Subject: [PATCH] floppy: fix race condition in __floppy_read_block_0()

showing that we never complete that read request. The reason is that
the completion setup is racy - it initializes the completion event
AFTER submitting the IO, which means that the IO could complete
before/during the init. If it does, we are passing garbage to
complete() and we may sleep forever waiting for the event to
occur.
