Subject: ipmi:ssif: Add missing unlock in error branch

From: Corey Minyard <[email protected]>

commit 4495ec6d770e1bca7a04e93ac453ab6720c56c5d upstream.

When getting flags, a response to a different message would result in a deadlock because of a missing unlock. Add that unlock and a comment. Found by static analysis.
