ipmi: use rcu lock around call to intf->handlers->sender()

commit cdea46566bb21ce309725a024208322a409055cc upstream.

A vendor with a system having more than 128 CPUs occasionally encounters
the following crash during shutdown. This is not an easily reproduceable
event, but the vendor was able to provide the following analysis of the
crash, which exhibits the same footprint each time.

This is the corresponding stack trace

It has crashed because the area pointed with RIP extracted from timer
element is already removed during a shutdown process.

The function is smi_timeout().

And we think ffff8810588b5a00 in RDX is a parameter struct smi_info

Unfortunately the top of this area is already detroyed by someone.
But because of two reasonns we think this is struct smi_info
 1) The address included in between  ffff8810588b5a70 and ffff8810588b5a80:
  are inside of ipmi_si_intf.c  see crash> module ffff88085779d2c0

 2) We've found the area which point this.
  It is offset 0x68 of  ffff880859df4000

 If we regards it as struct ipmi_smi in shutdown process
 it looks consistent.

The remedy for this apparent race is affixed below.

This was first introduced in 7ea0ed2b5be817 ipmi: Make the
message handler easier to use for SMI interfaces
where some code was moved outside of the rcu_read_lock()
and the lock was not added.
