Author: Dave Marquardt <davemarq@linux.ibm.com>
scsi: ibmvfc: add basic FPIN support
This commit adds basic Fabric Performance Impact Notification (FPIN) support
to the ibmvfc driver, offloading IBMVFC_AE_FPIN async events to a per-adapter
ordered workqueue and converting them into fc_els_fpin descriptors for
fc_host_fpin_rcv(). It also adds a KUnit test suite to validate FPIN event
handling and statistics updates.

[Severity: Critical]
In ibmvfc_process_async_work() in drivers/scsi/ibmvscsi/ibmvfc-core.c, both
tgt and fpin are declared on the stack without being initialized to NULL.
When crq->scsi_id, crq->wwpn, and crq->node_name are all zero, the function
jumps directly to the send_fpin label without ever initializing tgt. At
send_fpin, checking if (tgt) and calling kref_put(&tgt->kref,
ibmvfc_release_tgt) will operate on an uninitialized stack pointer on every
zero-identifier FPIN event, including valid host-scope
IBMVFC_AE_FPIN_LINK_CONGESTED and IBMVFC_AE_FPIN_CONGESTION_CLEARED events.
Furthermore, if crq->fpin_status on that zero-identifier path is neither
IBMVFC_AE_FPIN_LINK_CONGESTED nor IBMVFC_AE_FPIN_CONGESTION_CLEARED (such as
the zero-identifier IBMVFC_AE_FPIN_PORT_CONGESTED case exercised by
ibmvfc_async_fpin_test() in drivers/scsi/ibmvscsi/ibmvfc_kunit.c), fpin is
also left uninitialized before jumping to send_fpin. If the uninitialized
fpin pointer on the stack is non-zero, send_fpin will dereference
fpin->desc_len, pass the garbage pointer to fc_host_fpin_rcv(), and pass it
to kfree(fpin).
Note that while the subsequent commit 6abed589f0fb ("scsi: ibmvfc: extend
async event handlers for async sub-CRQ events") initializes fpin to NULL, tgt
still remains uninitialized on the zero-identifier goto send_fpin path.
Should both tgt and fpin be initialized to NULL at declaration in
ibmvfc_process_async_work()?
