[PATCH] ipmi: pass timeout as HZ independent value

From: Nicholas Mc Guire
Date: Thu Jan 07 2016 - 08:56:52 EST


schedule_timeout_* takes a timeout in jiffies but the code currently is
passing in a constant which makes this timeout HZ dependent, so pass it
through msecs_to_jiffies() to fix this up.

patch was compile tested with x86_64_defconfig + CONFIG_IPMI_HANDLER=m

Patch is against 4.4-rc8 (localversion-next is -next-20160107)
