CVE-2022-49159: scsi: qla2xxx: Implement ref count for SRB

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

scsi: qla2xxx: Implement ref count for SRB

The timeout handler and the done function are racing. When qla2x00asynciocbtimeout() starts to run it can be preempted by the normal response path (via the firmware?). qla24xxasyncgpscspdone() releases the SRB unconditionally. When scheduling back to qla2x00asynciocbtimeout() qla24xxasyncabortcmd() will access an freed sp->qpair pointer:

qla2xxx [0000:83:00.0]-2871:0: Async-gpsc timeout - hdl=63d portid=234500 50:06:0e:80:08:77:b6:21. qla2xxx [0000:83:00.0]-2853:0: Async done-gpsc res 0, WWPN 50:06:0e:80:08:77:b6:21 qla2xxx [0000:83:00.0]-2854:0: Async-gpsc OUT WWPN 20:45:00:27:f8:75:33:00 speeds=2c00 speed=0400. qla2xxx [0000:83:00.0]-28d8:0: qla24xxhandlegpscevent 50:06:0e:80:08:77:b6:21 DS 7 LS 6 rc 0 login 1|1 rscn 1|0 lid 5 BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000004 IP: qla24xxasyncabortcmd+0x1b/0x1c0 [qla2xxx]

Obvious solution to this is to introduce a reference counter. One reference is taken for the normal code path (the 'good' case) and one for the timeout path. As we always race between the normal good case and the timeout/abort handler we need to serialize it. Also we cannot assume any order between the handlers. Since this is slow path we can use proper synchronization via locks.

When we are able to cancel a timer (deltimer returns 1) we know there can't be any error handling in progress because the timeout handler hasn't expired yet, thus we can safely decrement the refcounter by one.

If we are not able to cancel the timer, we know an abort handler is running. We have to make sure we call sp->done() in the abort handlers before calling krefput().
