This patch quick fixes the issues indicated by the test results that
ipmi_msg_handler() is invoked in atomic context.

Known issues:
- Replacing tx_msg_lock with spinlock is not performance friendly
Current solution works but does not have the best performance because it
is better to make atomic context run as fast as possible. Given there
are no many IPMI messages created by ACPI, performance of current
solution may be OK. It can be better via linking ipmi_recv_msg into an
RX message queue and process it in other contexts.
