If I were doing this manually, I would run the following commands after
loading the dummy-hcd driver but before starting the main test
(requires CONFIG_USB_MON; you can skip the modprobe if
CONFIG_USB_MON=y):

	modprobe usbmon
	cat /sys/kernel/debug/usb/usbmon/Nu >/tmp/mon.out &

where N is the USB bus number corresponding to the dummy-hcd bus.  
Then after the test hangs, on another VT kill the "cat" process and
examine the contents of /tmp/mon.out.

Maybe you can do the equivalent with syzkaller?  If necessary, you can 
start the "cat" before loading dummy-hcd and specify a bus number of 0.
That will capture data for all the USB buses, including the dummy-hcd 
bus when it gets added (I think -- I haven't actually tried it).
