This reverts commit c97e41076a298dbc4e910c33048e553658388eed.
A backport was requested of c0a32fe13cd32 "ipmi_si: fix memory leak on new_smi", but the backport shouldn't have been done. This change needs to be reverted, as it can result in an oops and the previous code is correct.

This is for 4.14 stable tree only. In hindsight, I should scrutinize stable kernel requests from others in the IPMI tree. Sorry about that.
I just queued this patch up from someone else already. Thanks for it, and sorry for the problems.
