    ipmi_si: fix a memleak in try_smi_init()

    Kmemleak reported the following leak info in try_smi_init():

    The problem was that when an error occurred before handlers registration
    and after allocating `new_smi->si_sm`, the variable wouldn't be freed in
    the error handling afterwards since `shutdown_smi()` hadn't been
    registered yet. Fix it by adding a `kfree()` in the error handling path
    in `try_smi_init()`.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
