I was able to reproduce the hung up using modified reproducer, and got values
using below debug printk() patch.

One ore more threads are waiting for q->mq_freeze_depth to become 0. But the
thread who incremented q->mq_freeze_depth at blk_freeze_queue_start(q) from
blk_freeze_queue() is waiting at blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait(). Therefore,
atomic_read(&q->mq_freeze_depth) == 0 condition for wait_event() in
blk_queue_enter() will never be satisfied. But what does that wait_event()
want to do? Isn't "start freezing" a sort of blk_queue_dying(q) == true?
Since percpu_ref_tryget_live(&q->q_usage_counter) failed and the queue is
about to be frozen, shouldn't we treat atomic_read(&q->mq_freeze_depth) != 0
as if blk_queue_dying(q) == true? That is, something like below:
