commit 1514839b366417934e2f1328edb50ed1e8a719f5 upstream.
This patch fixes NULL pointer crash due to active timer running for abort IOCB.
From crash dump analysis it was discoverd that get_next_timer_interrupt()
encountered a corrupted entry on the timer list.

Looking at the assembly of get_next_timer_interrupt(), address came from %r8 (ffff95e1f6451188) which is pointing to list_head with single entry at ffff95e5ff621178.

ffff95e5ff621178 belongs to freed mempool object at ffff95e5ff621080.

Examining the contents of that memory reveals a pointer to a constant string in the driver, "abort\0", which is set by qla24xx_async_abort_cmd().

The object is a srb_t, and at offset 0xf8 within that structure (i.e. ffff95e5ff621080 + f8 -> ffff95e5ff621178) is a struct timer_list.
