Subject: [PATCH] ipmi: use rcu lock for using command receivers

I finally got some time to think this through and test it.
This patch is in addition to the ipmi-use-refcount-in-message-handler
patch.
Thanks again, Paul, for seeing this.

Use rcu_read_lock for the cmd_rcvrs list, since that was what
what intended, anyway. This means that all the users of the
cmd_rcvrs_lock are tasks, so the irq disables are no longer
required for that lock and it can become a semaphore.

Looks good from an RCU viewpoint! I presume that find_cmd_rcvr()
still includes an rcu_dereference().

Thanx, Paul
