But if it is called again, then it should hit this at the start of the function:

        if (WARN_ON(adap->is_configuring || adap->is_configured))
                return;

I'm still not sure what causes the KASAN hung task since I cannot seem to reproduce
it, and because it is hard for me to find enough time to dig into this.
