That's wrong. blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait() is waiting for q_usage_counter
to drop to zero as the below output shows:

(gdb) list *(blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait+0xf2)
0xffffffff823ab0b2 is in blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait (block/blk-mq.c:190).

188     void blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait(struct request_queue *q)
189     {
190 wait_event(q->mq_freeze_wq, percpu_ref_is_zero(&q->q_usage_counter));
191     }
192     EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait);

194     int blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait_timeout(struct request_queue *q,

If you haven't enabled lockdep on your system then can you
please configure lockdep and rerun the srp/002 test?

Lockdep was enabled during the test and didn't complain.

This is my analysis of the deadlock:

* Multiple requests are pending:
# (cd /sys/kernel/debug/block && grep -aH . */*/*/*list) | head

* queue_if_no_path is enabled for the multipath device dm-2:
# ls -l /dev/mapper/mpatha
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Jun 26 08:50 /dev/mapper/mpatha -> ../dm-2
# dmsetup table mpatha
0 65536 multipath 1 queue_if_no_path 1 alua 1 1 service-time 0 1 2 8:32 1 1

* The block device 8:32 is being deleted:
# grep '^8:32$' /sys/class/block/*/dev | wc -l
0

* blk_mq_freeze_queue_nomemsave() waits for the pending requests to
  finish. Because the only path in the multipath is being deleted
  and because queue_if_no_path is enabled,
  blk_mq_freeze_queue_nomemsave() hangs.
