Thanks, Ezequiel - sorry for the delay, I haven't had a chance to touch
my development computer over the break. The workqueue-based approach
from ubiblock.c seems to have solved the problem and the device can now
shut down happily once the request queue is emptied in the submit_req
call following device removal.

Thanks again for your help!
