[ upstream commit bc48fa1b9d3b04106055b27078da824cd209865a ]

Realtek has some sort of "Virtual" IPMI device on the PCI bus as a
KCS controller, but whatever it is, it's not one. Ignore it if seen.

[ Commit 13d0b35c (ipmi_si: Move PCI setup to another file) from Linux
4.15-rc1 has not been back ported, so the PCI code is still in
`drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c`, requiring to apply the commit
manually.

This fixes a 100 s boot delay on the HP EliteDesk 705 G4 MT with Linux
4.14.94. ]
