It is possible that SSIF interface entry is present in both DMI and ACPI
tables. In SMP systems, in such cases it is possible that ssif_probe could
be called simultaneously from i2c interface (from ACPI) and from DMI on
different CPUs at kernel boot. Both try to register same SSIF interface
simultaneously and result in race.
In such cases where ACPI and SMBIOS both IPMI entries are available, we
need to prefer ACPI over SMBIOS so that ACPI functions work properly if
they use IPMI.
So, if we get an ACPI interface and have already registered an SMBIOS
at the same address, we need to remove the SMBIOS one and add the ACPI.

[NOTE] : Added custom prints to explain the problem.
In the above log, ssif_probe is executed simultaneously on two different
CPUs.
This patch fixes this issue in following way:
- Adds ACPI entry also to the 'ssif_infos' list.
- Checks the list if SMBIOS is already registered, removes it and adds
ACPI.
- If ACPI is already registered, it ignores SMBIOS.
- Adds mutex lock throughout the probe process to avoid race.
