Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: qla2xxx: Use raw_smp_processor_id() instead of smp_processor_id()
The following call trace was observed:

Use raw_smp_processor_id() instead of smp_processor_id().
Also use queue_work() across the driver instead of queue_work_on() thus avoiding usage of smp_processor_id() when CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled.
