[PATCH v2 15/21] ipmi: kcs_bmc: Don't enforce single-open policy in the kernel

Soon it will be possible for one KCS device to have multiple associated
chardevs exposed to userspace (for IPMI and raw-style access). However,
don't prevent userspace from:

1. Opening more than one chardev at a time, or
2. Opening the same chardev more than once.

System behaviour is undefined for both classes of multiple access, so
userspace must manage itself accordingly.

The implementation delivers IBF and OBF events to the first chardev
client to associate with the KCS device. An open on a related chardev
cannot associate its client with the KCS device and so will not
receive notification of events. However, any fd on any chardev may race
their accesses to the data and status registers.
