If your are using this driver
http://mxhaard.free.fr/download.html

then it appears that it most likely hanging here:

	for (n = 0; n < SPCA50X_NUMFRAMES; n++)
		if (waitqueue_active(&spca50x->frame[n].wq))
			wake_up_interruptible(&spca50x->frame[n].wq);
	if (waitqueue_active(&spca50x->wq))
		wake_up_interruptible(&spca50x->wq);
	gspca_kill_transfert(spca50x);
	PDEBUG(3, "Disconnect Kill isoc done");
	up(&spca50x->lock);
	while (spca50x->user)
		schedule();

This driver's disconnect handling is buggy. As this is an out of tree
driver, please contact the original author.
