hung task while plugging in cfg80211

I updated the kernel on my rawhide KVM guest, and noticed that the
ethernet interface wasn't coming up at all. While poking around, I saw
this stack trace pop up:

...on a hunch, I blacklisted the cfg80211 module, and that seems to
have worked around the problem for now. I suspect that NM was trying to
plug in this module and it hung, and it couldn't proceed any further to
configure the virtual ethernet interface.

In the fedora rawhide kernels, last known good one is
kernel-3.11.0-0.rc0.git3.1.fc20, and bad one is
kernel-3.11.0-0.rc0.git6.1.fc20. I haven't bisected it further.
