[PATCH 2/3] ipmi: fix long wait in unload when IPMI disconnect

[Zhang Yuchen]

When fixing the problem mentioned in PATCH1, we also found
the following problem:

If the IPMI is disconnected and in the sending process, the
uninstallation driver will be stuck for a long time.

The main problem is that uninstalling the driver waits for curr_msg to
be sent or HOSED. After stopping tasklet, the only place to trigger the
timeout mechanism is the circular poll in shutdown_smi.

The poll function delays 10us and calls smi_event_handler(smi_info,10).
Smi_event_handler deducts 10us from kcs->ibf_timeout.

But the poll func is followed by schedule_timeout_uninterruptible(1).
The time consumed here is not counted in kcs->ibf_timeout.

So when 10us is deducted from kcs->ibf_timeout, at least 1 jiffies has
actually passed. The waiting time has increased by more than a
hundredfold.

Now instead of calling poll(). call smi_event_handler() directly and
calculate the elapsed time.

For verification, you can directly use ebpf to check the kcs->
ibf_timeout for each call to kcs_event() when IPMI is disconnected.
Decrement at normal rate before unloading. The decrement rate becomes
very slow after unloading.

  $ bpftrace -e 'kprobe:kcs_event {printf("kcs->ibftimeout : %d\n",
      *(arg0+584));}'
