ipmi: fix sleep-in-atomic in free_user at cleanup SRCU user->release_barrier

free_user() could be called in atomic context.

This patch pushed the free operation off into a workqueue.

Example:

 BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/workqueue.c:2856
 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 177, name: ksoftirqd/27
