[PATCH] ipmi_si: Potential array underflow in hotmod_handler()

[Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com>]

The "ival" variable needs to signed so that we don't read before the
start of the str[] array.  This would only happen the user passed in a
module parameter that was just comprised of space characters.
