From: Wei Yongjun <weiyongjun1@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 5a3ba99b62d8486de0316334e72ac620d4b94fdd upstream. The sparse tool complains as follows: drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c:194:25: warning: symbol 'remove_work_wq' was not declared. Should it be static? This symbol is not used outside of ipmi_msghandler.c, so marks it static.
