Public bug reported:
[Impact]
If you attempt to remove and insert the ipmi_ssif module a number of times, it
would result in a kernel panic. This is due to mod_timer from arming a timer
that was already removed by del_timer during module unload.
[Fix]
In linux-next:

-- Test Case --
for i in {1..500}; do sudo modprobe -r ipmi_ssif; sleep 2s ; sudo modprobe
ipmi_ssif || exit; done
----------------
After the patch was applied, no kernel panics were obsereved. Tested on Cavium
ThunderX2.
[Regression Risk]

regressions were found. Risk of regression none.
