I've run into the same problem, for us it was in regards to NFS mounts that had been dropped by the NFS server and not unmounted on the client side. Disk related commands on the remote host would hang. Part of the problem is there is no timeout on some of these commands Ansible is running from the setup module. As of right now I owe one of the developers the exact line/command Ansible is running where it's getting stuck in the setup module. This reply is just more of a you're not alone and didn't want to see this post go unanswered. If you want to raise awareness you can file a bug but the more information you have in regards to the line of code having an issue the more likely you are to get a quicker response.
