Subject: [PATCH 5.0 083/115] ipmi: fix sleep-in-atomic in free_user at cleanup SRCU user->release_barrier

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

commit 3b9a907223d7f6b9d1dadea29436842ae9bcd76d upstream.

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
