ipmi: Fix how the lower layers are told to watch for messages
The IPMI driver has a mechanism to tell the lower layers it needs to watch for messages, commands, and watchdogs (so it doesn't needlessly poll). However, it needed some extensions, it needed a way to tell what is being waited for so it could set the timeout appropriately. The update to the lower layer was also being done once a second at best because it was done in the main timeout handler. However, if a command is sent and a response message is coming back, it needed to be started immediately. So modify the code to update immediately if it needs to be enabled. Disable is still lazy.
