ipmi: handle run_to_completion properly in deliver_recv_msg()
commit a747c5abc329611220f16df0bb4cf0ca4a7fdf0c upstream.
If run_to_completion flag is set, it means that we are running in a
single-threaded mode, and thus no locks are held.
This fixes a deadlock when IPMI notifier is being called during panic.
