Subject: [PATCH 4.17 03/63] scsi: qla2xxx: Fix kernel crash due to late workqueue allocation

4.17-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: himanshu.madhani@...ium.com <himanshu.madhani@...ium.com>

commit d48cc67cd4406d589fdbfa8c7d51c86532f86feb upstream.

This patch fixes crash for FCoE adapter. Once driver initialization is
complete, firmware will start posting Asynchronous Event, However driver
has not yet allocated workqueue to process and queue up work.  This delay
of allocating workqueue results into NULL pointer access.

The following stack trace is seen:
