[PATCH] IPMI: Fix some RCU problems

Browse Source 
Fix some RCU problem pointed out by Paul McKenney of IBM.  These are:

The wholesale move of the command receivers list into a new list was not
safe because the list will point to the new tail during a traversal, so the
traversal will never end on a reader if this happens during a read.

Memory barriers were needed to handle proper ordering of the setting of the
IPMI interface as valid.  Readers might not see proper ordering of data
otherwise.

In ipmi_smi_watcher_register(), the use of the _rcu suffix on the list is
unnecessary.

This require the list_splice_init_rcu() patch previously posted.
