Subject: linux-next: build failure after merge of the ipmi tree

Hi all,

After merging the ipmi tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
allyesconfig) failed like this:

drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c: In function 'free_user_work':
drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c:1156:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'vfree'; did you mean 'kvfree'? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
 1156 |  vfree(user);
      |  ^~~~~
      |  kvfree
drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c: In function 'ipmi_create_user':
drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c:1188:13: error: implicit declaration of function 'vzalloc'; did you mean 'kvzalloc'? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
 1188 |  new_user = vzalloc(sizeof(*new_user));
      |             ^~~~~~~
      |             kvzalloc
drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c:1188:11: warning: assignment to 'struct ipmi_user *' from 'int' makes pointer from integer without a cast [-Wint-conversion]
 1188 |  new_user = vzalloc(sizeof(*new_user));
      |           ^

Caused by commit

  d6850a47c933 ("ipmi: use vzalloc instead of kmalloc for user creation")

I have applied the following patch for today:
