Subject: CVE-2022-49156: scsi: qla2xxx: Fix scheduling while atomic

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

scsi: qla2xxx: Fix scheduling while atomic

The driver makes a call into midlayer (fc_remote_port_delete) which can put
the thread to sleep. The thread that originates the call is in interrupt
context. The combination of the two trigger a crash. Schedule the call in
non-interrupt context where it is more safe.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
