Subject: ipmi/watchdog: fix wdog hang on panic waiting for ipmi response
From: Robert Lippert <roblip@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 2c1175c2e8e5487233cabde358a19577562ac83e ]
Commit c49c097610fe ("ipmi: Don't call receive handler in the
panic context") means that the panic_recv_free is not called during a
panic and the atomic count does not drop to 0.
Fix this by only expecting one decrement of the atomic variable
which comes from panic_smi_free.
