Thanks to Eric for reminiding me of this one.  I did look briefly at it
before, and meant to revisit it for a more thorough analysis.  And
forgot, of corse...

Anyway, I believe this is not a bug.

wdm_flush will wait forever for the IN_USE flag to be cleared or the
DISCONNECTING flag to be set. The only way you can avoid this is by
creating a device that works normally up to a point and then completely
ignores all messages, but without resetting or disconnecting. It is
obviously possible to create such a device. But I think the current
error handling is more than sufficient, unless you show me some way to
abuse this or reproduce the issue with a real device.

Just disconnect the malfunctioning device and throw it away.
