ipmi: Clear drvdata when interface is removed

This patch fixes a bug on hotmod removing.

After ipmi interface is removed using hotmod, kernel panic occurs when
rmmod impi_si.  For example, try this:

 # echo "remove,"`cat /proc/ipmi/0/params` > \
 /sys/module/ipmi_si/parameters/hotmod
 # rmmod ipmi_si

Then, rmmod fails with the following messages.

list_del in cleanup_one_si() fails because the smi_info is already
removed when hotmod removing.

When ipmi interface is removed by hotmod, smi_info is removed by
cleanup_one_si(), but is is still set in drvdata.  Therefore when rmmod
ipmi_si, ipmi_pnp_remove tries to remove it again and fails.

By this patch, a pointer to smi_info in drvdata is cleared when hotmod
removing so that it will be not accessed when rmmod.

changelog:
v2:
- Clear drvdata in cleanup_one_si
- Change subject
