[Skiboot] [PATCH] core/ipmi: Fix use-after-free

[Vasant Hegde]

Commit f01cd77 introduced backend poller() for ipmi message. But in some
corner cases its possible that we endup calling poller() after freeing
ipmi message.

Thread 1 :
  ipmi_queue_msg_sync()
    Waiting for ipmi sync message to complete

Thread 2 :
  bt_poll() -> ipmi_cmd_done() -> callback handler -> free message

Oliver hit this issue during fast-reboot test with skiboot DEBUG build.
In debug build we poision the memory after free. That helped us to catch
this issue.
