I reverted the previous fix (pm_runtime_resume_and_get), and implemented
.atomic_post_disable as you suggested, and this works great: the bug is
no longer present and I do not see timeout errors:
[ 537.727556] systemd-shutdown[1]: Syncing filesystems and block devices.
[ 537.734544] systemd-shutdown[1]: Rebooting.
