[PATCH] ipmi/powernv: Fix a minor bug

[Neelesh Gupta]

If the OPAL call to receive the ipmi message fails, then we free up the smi
message before returning. But, the driver still holds the reference to old
smi message in the 'cur_msg' which is dangerous if the driver derefernces it
later and it will further block the subsequent ipmi operations. So, to fix
it up, we need to nullify 'cur_msg' in the error case.
