ipmi: si: Fix NULL pointer dereference after failed registration
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipmi: si: Fix NULL pointer dereference after failed registration try_smi_init() allocates new_smi->si_sm and later calls ipmi_register_smi_mod(), which maps to ipmi_add_smi(). During ipmi_add_smi(), the upper IPMI message handler obtains the initial BMC device information through __bmc_get_device_id(). This can fail if the BMC does not return a successful response to the Get Device ID command. When the BMC returns a nonzero completion code, the device-id helper retries the command and eventually returns -EIO if the device ID still cannot be fetched. On this failure path,
