[PATCH] char: ipmi: Fix possible pointer dereferences in msg_done_handler()

[Jia-Ju Bai]

In msg_done_handler(), there is an if statement on line 778 to check
whether msg is NULL:
    if (msg)

When msg is NULL, it is used on line 845:
    if ((result < 0) || (len < 3) || (msg->rsp[2] != 0))
and line 869:
    if ((result < 0) || (len < 3) || (msg->rsp[2] != 0))

Thus, possible null-pointer dereferences may occur.

To fix these bugs, msg is checked before being used.

These bugs are found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.
