Subject: [PATCH][IPMI] Fix mem leak in try_init_dmi() code

Hi there,

If we ever hit the "default:" case in the switch in try_init_dmi(), 
then we'll leak the storage allocated with kzalloc() and assigned 
to 'info'. 

Note: patch has been compile tested only.

Please consider merging upstream :-)
