commit 2b5160b12091285c5aca45980f100a9294af7b04 upstream.

In case, init_srcu_struct fails (because of memory allocation failure), we
might proceed with the driver initialization despite srcu_struct not being
entirely initialized.

Fixes: 913a89f009d9 ("ipmi: Don't initialize anything in the core until something uses it")
