Can you describe the sequence of events which
happened before the hang?
Was the device detached before or during lsusb?
Perhaps try echo t > /proc/sysrq-trigger to see
where exactly lsusb gets stuck.
I found processes can get stuck in usb_kill_urb
if they tried to unlink an URB, but the unlink
request was not answered before detach.
Perhaps this is related. I am attaching a patch
which fixes that bug for me, perhaps you could
try if it makes a difference?

Agreed, it doesn't seem like a TCP error is
causing the hang in this case.

Subject: [PATCH 01/10] vhci: give back URBs from in-flight unlink requests
If we never received a RET_UNLINK because the TCP
connection broke the pending URBs still need to be
unlinked and given back.
Previously processes would be stuck trying to kill
the URB even after the device was detached.
