Subject: [PATCH 3/8] IPMI: Run to completion fixes

From: Corey Minyard <cminyard@...sta.com>

The "run_to_completion" mode was somewhat broken.  Locks need to be
avoided in run_to_completion mode, and it shouldn't be used by normal
users, just internally for panic situations.

This patch removes locks in run_to_completion mode and removes the
user call for setting the mode.  The only user was the poweroff
code, but it was easily converted to use the polling interface.
