[Skiboot] [PATCH 3/4] ipmi: flush the ipmi message queue before booting a kernel

Bring ipmi to a consistent state before booting a kernel by flushing
all outstanding messages. The OS may not start kicking the IPMI state
machine for some time.

For example, without this change, when booting in QEMU, the IPMI command
issued by ipmi_wdt_final_reset() to disable the watchdog is not sent to
the BMC before the OS boots, effectively leaving the watchdog enabled
until the OS begins to drive OPAL pollers.
