[Impact]
When you boot bionic with Boot with i2c and ipmi_ssif enabled on Cavium
ThunderX2 systems with a faulty BMC that does not return any data, and the code
is trying to print the value if data[2], we get a kernel panic.

ipmi_ssif: Fix kernel panic at msg_done_handler
[Regression Potential]
ipmi_ssif is only loaded on ARM64 systems, this issue is observed only on
Cavium ThunderX2 systems with a faulty BMC. The fix does not impact other
architectures or vendor systems. Regression potential is low.
