[PATCH 5.4 28/47] ipmi: fix initialization when workqueue allocation fails

From: Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo <cascardo@canonical.com>

commit 75d70d76cb7b927cace2cb34265d68ebb3306b13 upstream.

If the workqueue allocation fails, the driver is marked as not initialized,
and timer and panic_notifier will be left registered.

Instead of removing those when workqueue allocation fails, do the workqueue
initialization before doing it, and cleanup srcu_struct if it fails.

Fixes: 1d49eb91e86e ("ipmi: Move remove_work to dedicated workqueue")
