In order to exclude possible issue with incorrect request sized I've run test which does write_zeroes,
via fio-fallocate randrtim, which actually does fallocate punch_hole+keep_size which converts to blkdev_issue_zeroout()
note: fio should be patched, see: https://github.com/axboe/fio/pull/1203

fio --name t --ioengine=falloc --rw=randtrim --bs=512 --size=100M --filename=/dev/nvme0n1 --numjobs=16
After a couple of minutes it stuck, and then timeout occour.
cat /sys/kernel/debug/block/nvme0n1/hctx*/busy

So, this is definitely hardware issue, and write_zeroes should be disabled for this particular model.
