NAK!

First of all, you can't complete a request while the controller still
owns it. You're risking data and/or memory corruption from doing that.

Secondly, there is no such mainline kernel that tries to disable the
controller in a softirq context. Whoever built your kernel needs to
cherry pick 287922eb, "block: defer timeouts to a workqueue".
