ipmi/powernv: Fix minor locking bug
If ipmi_powernv_recv(...) is called without a current message it prints a warning and returns. However it fails to release the message lock causing the system to dead lock during any subsequent IPMI operations. This error path should never normally be taken unless there are bugs elsewhere in the system. Signed-off-by: Alistair Popple <alistair@popple.id.au> Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard <cminyard@mvista.com>
