Commit9e91f8a6c8("ipmi:msghandler: Remove srcu for the ipmi_interfaces list") dropped the synchronize_rcu() between unlinking the command receivers from intf->cmd_rcvrs and freeing them, updating only the comment that explains why the barrier is needed. The cmd_rcvrs list is still traversed under plain RCU: find_cmd_rcvr() walks it inside rcu_read_lock(), and handle_ipmb_get_msg_cmd() borrows rcvr->user from that lookup within the same read-side section. Without the grace period, _ipmi_destroy_user() can kfree() a cmd_rcvr while a reader still holds a pointer to it, causing a use-after-free. The rework only made srcu unnecessary for the interfaces list; the cmd_rcvrs list still relies on plain RCU. Restore the synchronize_rcu() before freeing the receivers.
