ipmi: move timer init to before irq is setup
We encountered a panic on boot in ipmi_si on a dell per320 due to an
uninitialized timer as follows.
static int smi_start_processing(void *send_info,
ipmi_smi_t intf)
{
/* Try to claim any interrupts. */
if (new_smi->irq_setup)
new_smi->irq_setup(new_smi);
--> IRQ arrives here and irq handler tries to modify uninitialized timer
which triggers BUG_ON(!timer->function) in __mod_timer().
Call Trace:

The following patch fixes the problem.
