There is a race condition with the abort handler declaring a waitq item on it's stack, followed by a timeout in the abort handler that has it give up on the abort return to its caller. When the io is finally aborted and its completion handler called, it references the waitq element that the abort_handler set up, which is no longer valid resulting in a deadlock. Fix by clearing the waitq reference, under lock, when the abort handler timeout gives up. Have the completion handler validate the waitq before referencing it.
