Do you have sysrq+l output as well by any chance? That would tell
us what the current CPUs are doing. Dumping all kworker stacks
might be helpful as well. We know that lru_add_drain_all waits for
schedule_on_each_cpu to return so it is waiting for workers to finish.
I would be really curious why some of lru_add_drain_cpu cannot finish
properly. The only reason would be that some work item(s) do not get CPU
or somebody is holding lru_lock.
