[SCSI] bnx2i: Fixed kernel panic due to illegal usage of sc->request->cpu
A kernel panic was observed when passing the sc->request->cpu = -1 to
retrieve the per_cpu variable pointer:
#0 [ffff880011203960] machine_kexec at ffffffff81022bc3
#1 [ffff8800112039b0] crash_kexec at ffffffff81088630

#9 [ffff880011203e88] cnic_service_bnx2x_bh at ffffffffa03cb1b3
The problem lies in the slow path sg_io (and perhaps sg_scsi_ioctl) call to
blk_get_request->get_request/wait->blk_alloc_request->blk_rq_init which
re-initializes the request->cpu to -1. There is no assignment for cpu from
that to the request_fn call to low level drivers.
When this happens, the sc->request->cpu will be using the init value of
-1. This will create a kernel panic when it hits bnx2i because the code
refers it to get the per_cpu variables ptr.
This change is to put in a guard against that and also for cases when
bio affinity/queue completion to the same cpu is not enabled. In those
cases, the request->cpu will remain a -1 also.
This bug was created from commit: b5cf6b63f73abdc051035f0050b367beeb2ef94c
For the case when the blk layer did not setup the request->cpu, bnx2i
will complete the sc with the current CPU of the thread.
