KASAN report null-ptr-deref as follows:

KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000008-0x000000000000000f]
Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.13.0-1ubuntu1.1 04/01/2014
RIP: 0010:ipmi_unregister_smi+0x7d/0xd50 drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c:3680
Call Trace:
 ipmi_ipmb_remove+0x138/0x1a0 drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_ipmb.c:443

In ipmi_ipmb_probe(), 'iidev->intf' is not set before
ipmi_register_smi() success.  And in the error handling case,
ipmi_ipmb_remove() is called to release resources, ipmi_unregister_smi()
is called without check 'iidev->intf', this will cause KASAN
null-ptr-deref issue.

General kernel style is to allow NULL to be passed into unregister
calls, so fix it that way.  This allows a NULL check to be removed in
other code.
