ipmi:msghandler: Fix potential memory corruption in ipmi_create_user()

commit fa332f5dc6fc662ad7d3200048772c96b861cf6b upstream.

The "intf" list iterator is an invalid pointer if the correct
"intf->intf_num" is not found.  Calling atomic_dec(&intf->nr_users) on
and invalid pointer will lead to memory corruption.

We don't really need to call atomic_dec() if we haven't called
atomic_add_return() so update the if (intf->in_shutdown) path as well.

Fixes: 8e76741c3d ("ipmi: Add a limit on the number of users that may use IPMI")

[ - Dropped change to the `if (intf->in_shutdown)` block since that logic
    doesn't exist yet.
  - Modified out_unlock to release the srcu lock instead of the mutex
    since we don't have the mutex here yet. ]
