ipmi: move timer init to before irq is setup

Browse Source 
We encountered a panic on boot in ipmi_si on a dell per320 due to an
uninitialized timer as follows.

static int smi_start_processing(void       *send_info,
                                ipmi_smi_t intf)
{
        /* Try to claim any interrupts. */
        if (new_smi->irq_setup)
                new_smi->irq_setup(new_smi);

 --> IRQ arrives here and irq handler tries to modify uninitialized timer

    which triggers BUG_ON(!timer->function) in __mod_timer().

        /* Set up the timer that drives the interface. */
        setup_timer(&new_smi->si_timer, smi_timeout, (long)new_smi);

The following patch fixes the problem.
