ipmi: Prevent use-after-free in deliver_response
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Some IPMI modules (e.g. ibmpex_msg_handler()) will have ipmi_usr_hdlr
handlers that call ipmi_free_recv_msg() directly. This will essentially
kfree(msg), leading to use-after-free.

This does not happen in the ipmi_devintf module, which will queue the
message and run ipmi_free_recv_msg() later.
