From a locking point of view it is safe to check waiting_msg without
a lock, but there is a memory ordering issue that causes it to
possibly not be set right when viewed from another processor.  We are
already claiming a lock right after that, move the check to inside
the lock to enforce the memory ordering.

The seq_printf like functions will soon be changed to return void.

Convert these uses to check seq_has_overflowed instead.

Instead of manual calls of device_create_file() and
device_remove_file(), implement the condition in is_visible callback
for the attribute group and put these entries to the group, too.
This simplifies the code and avoids the possible races.

This adds a loop through the elements in the linked list, recv_msgs using
list_for_entry_safe in order to free messages in this list.  In addition
we are using the safe version of this marco in order to prevent use after
bugs related to deleting the element we are on currently by holding a
pointer to the next element after the current one we are on and freeing
with the function, ipmi_free_recv_msg internally in this loop.

A new harmless warning has come up on ARM builds with gcc-4.9:

drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c: In function 'smi_send.isra.11':
include/linux/spinlock.h:372:95: warning: 'flags' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
  raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&lock->rlock, flags);
                                                                                               ^
drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c:1490:16: note: 'flags' was declared here
  unsigned long flags;
                ^

This could be worked around by initializing the 'flags' variable, but it
seems better to rework the code to avoid this.

As part of the internal y2038 cleanup, this patch removes
timespec usage in the ipmi driver, replacing it timespec64

The driver uses #ifdef DEBUG_TIMING in order to conditionally print out
timestamped debug messages. Unfortunately it adds the ifdefs all over the
usage sites.

This patch cleans it up by adding a debug_timestamp() function which
is compiled out if DEBUG_TIMING isn't present. This cleans up all
the ugly ifdefs in the function logic.

Removes a no longer needed FIXME comment in the function,acpi_gpe_irq_setup
for the file,ipmi_si_intf.c. This comment is no longer needed as clearly we
are passing the correct level of  ACPI_GPE_LEVEL_TRIGGERED to the installer
function,acpi_install_gpe_handler due to no breakage after years of using
this ACPI level in the function,acpi_install_gpe_handler.

There can't be more than a few IPMI messages allocated at any one time,
so converting the messages to slabs would be a waste.  So just remove
the FIXME.
