The one thing I have done in the past is to instrument dev_hold and dev_put and look where in the code the stragglers are coming from (when I can reproduce the issue reliably). Sometimes people have addressed this class of issue with code review, but with a slow cleanup you can't catch this by finding a missing dev_put. It takes some creativity to find these as people rarely make the same mistake twice.
