RHEL-9.5 - Update IPMI to upstream v6.8

Tony Camuso requested to merge tcamuso/centos-stream-9:25927 into main 
JIRA: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-25927
Upstream Status: v6.8
Omitted-fix: e64c82b80641 ipmi: Switch i2c drivers back to use .probe()
             This fix was omitted, because Upstream fix 03c835f498b5 has not been backported 
             into RHEL9, so this fix just breaks things.
Omitted-fix: 392fa3a3abdb ipmi: make ipmi_class a static const structure
             The driver core change to make this work has not been backported into RHEL9.
Omitted-Fix: ed1aa959b508 char-misc: Remove the now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array
             While technically not a fix, this is mostly a minor cosmetic change, but it
             requires an infrastructure change to support it.

The code was tested by the following brew test.cki build:

With the repo available at:
https://brew-task-repos.engineering.redhat.com/repos/scratch/tcamuso/kernel/5.14.0/430.test.cki.ipmi.el9/
