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.

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.
