Another patch that might be relevant:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=e972b08b91ef48488bae9789f03cfedb148667fb

Which fixes a use after delete in rq_qos_wake_function().
(We can see that the stack trace has rq_qos_wake_function() before
getting stuck forever in rq_qos_wait())

Who knows what could go wrong when accessing a deleted entry, in the
report there was a crash, but I could image other surprises :)
The fix was first included in v6.12-rc4.


Kind regards,
Niklas
