If you wait (five mins) after triggering the problem, does the kernel
print further messages?  Also, can you please explain the steps needed
to trigger this problem?

Hmmm... so, this is cdrom_id waiting for event check work item to
complete.  The event work is executed on system_nrt_wq which is frozen
after all userland tasks are frozen so there's no reason for the above
to stall.  Can you please enable sysrq, trigger the problem and while
the system is in that 20 sec freeze stall, hit sysrq-t and report the
dmesg?

Does the cdrom eventually become usable afterwards?

Thanks.
