That makes it clear. The elevator probably has scheduled work
which cannot finish waiting on a lock and scsi_remove_host()
wants to flush work.

This is not a USB problem. You need to involve the SCSI people.
khubd just stops working because disconnects are processed
in its context and the removal deadlocks.
