IPMI: Fix oops on ipmi_msghandler removal for non ipmi systems
When the ipmi_si module is loaded on a system without any ipmi device, it
fails with nodev. It would be fine if all resources were freed. A call to
device_unregister() is missing, resulting to a oops when you remove the
ipmi_msghandler.
