Timers appear to operate in an atomic context, so timers should not be
allowed to call scsi_remove_device, which eventually schedules.

Any suggestions on the best way to fix this?

Workqueue, perhaps.

Perhaps.  Actually, of course :)

How about the existing ata_wq workqueue?  This makes sense.  When the
timer expires, it adds a task to this queue.

Note to self - No, you cannot use the exsting 'ata_wq' workqueue - The
plug-in events need to put other work on the queue during the hotplug
event... and of course this deadlocks since you're in the queuethread
already.
