[PATCH 3/4] ipmi: work around gcc-4.9 build warning

[minyard]

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>

Building ipmi on arm with gcc-4.9 results in this warning
for an allmodconfig build:

drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c: In function 'ipmi_thread':
include/linux/time.h:28:5: warning: 'busy_until.tv_sec' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
  if (lhs->tv_sec > rhs->tv_sec)
     ^
drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:1007:18: note: 'busy_until.tv_sec' was declared here
  struct timespec busy_until;
                  ^

The warning is bogus and this case can not occur. Apparently
this is a false positive resulting from gcc getting a little
smarter about tracking assignments but not smart enough. Marking
the ipmi_thread_busy_wait function as inline gives the gcc
optimization logic enough information to figure out for itself
that the case cannot happen, which gets rid of the warning
without adding any fake initialization.
