During hibernation processes are frozen before devices are quiesced. 
freeze_processes() calls try_to_freeze_tasks() and that function in turn 
calls freeze_workqueues_begin() and freeze_workqueues_busy(). 
freeze_workqueues_busy() freezes all freezable workqueues including 
system_freezable_power_efficient_wq, the workqueue from which 
check_events functions are called. Some time after freezable workqueues 
are frozen dpm_suspend(PMSG_FREEZE) is called. That last call triggers 
the pm_ops.freeze callbacks, including the pm_ops.freeze callbacks 
defined in the SCSI core.

The above trace seems to indicate that freezing workqueues has not 
happened before devices were frozen. How about doing the following to 
retrieve more information about what is going on?
* Enable CONFIG_PM_DEBUG in the kernel configuration.
* Run echo 1 > /sys/power/pm_print_times and echo 1 > 
/sys/power/pm_debug_messages before hibernation starts.

Right, I had overlooked the code in storvsc_probe() that associates SCSI 
devices with storvsc_drv.
