Junichi Nomura ae4ea9a246 ipmi: Remove smi_msg from waiting_rcv_msgs list before handle_one_recv_msg() 
Commit 7ea0ed2b5b ("ipmi: Make the message handler easier to use for
SMI interfaces") changed handle_new_recv_msgs() to call handle_one_recv_msg()
for a smi_msg while the smi_msg is still connected to waiting_rcv_msgs list.
That could lead to following list corruption problems:

1) low-level function treats smi_msg as not connected to list

  handle_one_recv_msg() could end up calling smi_send(), which
  assumes the msg is not connected to list.

  For example, the following sequence could corrupt list by
  doing list_add_tail() for the entry still connected to other list.

    handle_new_recv_msgs()
      msg = list_entry(waiting_rcv_msgs)
      handle_one_recv_msg(msg)
        handle_ipmb_get_msg_cmd(msg)
          smi_send(msg)
            spin_lock(xmit_msgs_lock)
            list_add_tail(msg)
            spin_unlock(xmit_msgs_lock)

2) race between multiple handle_new_recv_msgs() instances

  handle_new_recv_msgs() once releases waiting_rcv_msgs_lock before calling
  handle_one_recv_msg() then retakes the lock and list_del() it.

  If others call handle_new_recv_msgs() during the window shown below
  list_del() will be done twice for the same smi_msg.

  handle_new_recv_msgs()
    spin_lock(waiting_rcv_msgs_lock)
    msg = list_entry(waiting_rcv_msgs)
    spin_unlock(waiting_rcv_msgs_lock)
  |
  | handle_one_recv_msg(msg)
  |
    spin_lock(waiting_rcv_msgs_lock)
    list_del(msg)
    spin_unlock(waiting_rcv_msgs_lock)
