Tony Camuso 383035211c ipmi: move message error checking to avoid deadlock
V1->V2: in handle_one_rcv_msg, if data_size > 2, set requeue to zero and
        goto out instead of calling ipmi_free_msg.
        Kosuke Tatsukawa <tatsu@ab.jp.nec.com>

In the source stack trace below, function set_need_watch tries to
take out the same si_lock that was taken earlier by ipmi_thread.

ipmi_thread() [drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:995]
 smi_event_handler() [drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:765]
  handle_transaction_done() [drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:555]
   deliver_recv_msg() [drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:283]
    ipmi_smi_msg_received() [drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c:4503]
     intf_err_seq() [drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c:1149]
      smi_remove_watch() [drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c:999]
       set_need_watch() [drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:1066]

Upstream commit e1891cffd4 adds code to
ipmi_smi_msg_received() to call smi_remove_watch() via intf_err_seq()
and this seems to be causing the deadlock.

    ipmi: Make the smi watcher be disabled immediately when not needed

The fix is to put all messages in the queue and move the message
checking code out of ipmi_smi_msg_received and into handle_one_recv_msg,
which processes the message checking after ipmi_thread releases its
locks.

Additionally,Kosuke Tatsukawa <tatsu@ab.jp.nec.com> reported that
handle_new_recv_msgs calls ipmi_free_msg when handle_one_rcv_msg returns
zero, so that the call to ipmi_free_msg in handle_one_rcv_msg introduced
another panic when "ipmitool sensor list" was run in a loop. He
submitted this part of the patch.

+free_msg:
+               requeue = 0;
+               goto out;
