CVE-2022-49703

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

scsi: ibmvfc: Store vhost pointer during subcrq allocation

Currently the back pointer from a queue to the vhost adapter isn't set
until after subcrq interrupt registration. The value is available when a
queue is first allocated and can/should be also set for primary and async
queues as well as subcrqs.

This fixes a crash observed during kexec/kdump on Power 9 with legacy XICS
interrupt controller where a pending subcrq interrupt from the previous
kernel can be replayed immediately upon IRQ registration resulting in
dereference of a garbage backpointer in ibmvfc_interrupt_scsi().

Kernel attempted to read user page (58) - exploit attempt? (uid: 0)
BUG: Kernel NULL pointer dereference on read at 0x00000058
Faulting instruction address: 0xc008000003216a08
Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
