UBUNTU-CVE-2026-45898: Medium severity ubuntu/linux-hwe-edge vulnerability

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/iwcm: Fix workqueue list corruption by removing worklist The commit e1168f0 ("RDMA/iwcm: Simplify cmeventhandler()") changed the work submission logic to unconditionally call queuework() with the expectation that queuework() would have no effect if work was already pending. The problem is that a free list of struct iwcmwork is used (for which struct workstruct is embedded), so each call to queuework() is basically unique and therefore does indeed queue the work. This causes a problem in the work handler which walks the worklist until it's empty to process entries. This means that a single run of the work handler could process item N+1 and release it back to the free list while the actual workqueue entry is still queued. It could then get reused (INITWORK...) and lead to list corruption in the workqueue logic. Fix this by just removing the worklist. The workqueue already does this for us. This fixes the following error that was observed when stress testing with ucmatose on an Intel E830 in iWARP mode: [ 151.465780] listdel corruption. next->prev should be ffff9f0915c69c08, but was ffff9f0a1116be08.
