[PATCH 4.11 107/114] ipmi: Fix kernel panic at ipmi_ssif_thread()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.11-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Joeseph Chang <joechang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 6de65fcfdb51835789b245203d1bfc8d14cb1e06 upstream.

msg_written_handler() may set ssif_info->multi_data to NULL
when using ipmitool to write fru.

Before setting ssif_info->multi_data to NULL, add new local
pointer "data_to_send" and store correct i2c data pointer to
it to fix NULL pointer kernel panic and incorrect ssif_info->multi_pos.
