Subject: [PATCH 14/20] ipmi: fix unsigned long underflow

Git-commit: 392a17b10ec4320d3c0e96e2a23ebaad1123b989
Patch-mainline: v4.15-rc1
References: bsc#1060799

When I set the timeout to a specific value such as 500ms, the timeout
event will not happen in time due to the overflow in function
check_msg_timeout:
...
	ent->timeout -= timeout_period;
	if (ent->timeout > 0)
		return;
...

The type of timeout_period is long, but ent->timeout is unsigned long.
This patch makes the type consistent.
