Well, as per 248ff0216543 ("driver core: Make Kconfig text for
DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE stronger"):

| The current state of driver removal is not great.
| CONFIG_DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE finds lots of errors. The help text
| currently undersells exactly how many errors this option will find. Add
| a bit more description to indicate this option shouldn't be turned on
| unless you actually want to debug driver removal. The text can be
| changed later when more drivers are fixed up.

so it looks like the option is working but it uncovers bugs. I've put
you in TO because the breakage in kvm test went away after I disabled
the MQ support in SCSI. So I *assumed* that MQ was not doing something
right in the removal path. I don't know if this libata-core backtrace is
a false positive or not.
