[PATCH 4.9 082/172] virtio_console: fix a crash in config_work_handler

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "G. Campana" <gcampana@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>


[ Upstream commit 8379cadf71c3ee8173a1c6fc1ea7762a9638c047 ]

Using control_work instead of config_work as the 3rd argument to
container_of results in an invalid portdev pointer. Indeed, the work
structure is initialized as below:

    INIT_WORK(&portdev->config_work, &config_work_handler);

It leads to a crash when portdev->vdev is dereferenced later. This
bug
is triggered when the guest uses a virtio-console without multiport
feature and receives a config_changed virtio interrupt.
