That patch appears to work in preventing the crashes, judged on one
repeated appearance of the bug.
dmesg had the usual
[ 215.229903] usb 4-2: usb_disable_lpm called, do nothing
[ 215.336941] usb 4-2: reset SuperSpeed USB device number 3 using xhci_hcd
[ 215.350296] xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: xHCI xhci_drop_endpoint called
with disabled ep ffff880427b829c0
[ 215.350305] xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: xHCI xhci_drop_endpoint called
with disabled ep ffff880427b82a08
[ 215.350621] usb 4-2: usb_enable_lpm called, do nothing
repeated five times, followed by one
[ 282.795801] sd 8:0:0:0: Device offlined - not ready after error recovery
and then as often as something tried to read from it:
[ 295.585472] sd 8:0:0:0: rejecting I/O to offline device
The stick could then be properly un- and remounted (the latter if it had
been physically replugged) without issue — for the bug to reoccur after
one to three minutes. I tried this three times, no dmesg difference
except the ep addresses varied on two of that.

I finally got a chance to try it out. It does seem to do what we want.
I didn't track the flow of control in complete detail, but the command
definitely got aborted both times it was issued.
Good, so it is as I thought. James, can we include this patch instead of
your prior solution?
First, we should have the original bug reporter try it out.
Andreas, the patch in question can be found here:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-usb&m=139627666606597&w=2
Can you try this in place of the 1/3 patch posted by James? It should
have the same effect, of preventing your system from crashing when the
READ command fails.
