Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] hwmon: (acpi_power_meter) Ensure IPMI space handler is ready on Dell systems

The following error can be observed at boot:
[    3.717920] ACPI Error: No handler for Region [SYSI] (00000000ab9e62c5) [IPMI] (20230628/evregion-130)
[    3.717928] ACPI Error: Region IPMI (ID=7) has no handler (20230628/exfldio-261)

[    3.717936] No Local Variables are initialized for Method [_GHL]

[    3.717938] No Arguments are initialized for method [_GHL]

[    3.717940] ACPI Error: Aborting method \_SB.PMI0._GHL due to previous error (AE_NOT_EXIST) (20230628/psparse-529)
[    3.717949] ACPI Error: Aborting method \_SB.PMI0._PMC due to previous error (AE_NOT_EXIST) (20230628/psparse-529)
[    3.717957] ACPI: \_SB_.PMI0: _PMC evaluation failed: AE_NOT_EXIST

On Dell systems several methods of acpi_power_meter access variables in
IPMI region [0], so wait until IPMI space handler is installed by
acpi_ipmi and also wait until SMI is selected to make the space handler
fully functional.

v3:
 - Use helper.
 - Use return value to print warning message.

v2:
 - Use completion instead of request_module().
