Corey Minyard 3b9a907223 ipmi: fix sleep-in-atomic in free_user at cleanup SRCU user->release_barrier
free_user() could be called in atomic context.

This patch pushed the free operation off into a workqueue.

Example:

 BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/workqueue.c:2856
 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 177, name: ksoftirqd/27
 CPU: 27 PID: 177 Comm: ksoftirqd/27 Not tainted 4.19.25-3 #1
 Hardware name: AIC 1S-HV26-08/MB-DPSB04-06, BIOS IVYBV060 10/21/2015

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
