ipmi:ssif: Improve detecting during probing

Browse Source 
If an IPMI SSIF device is probed and there is something there, but
probably not an actual BMC, the code would just issue a lot of errors
before it failed.  We kind of need these errors to help with certain
issues, and some of the failure reports are non-fatal.

However, a get device id command should alway work.  If that fails,
nothing else is going to work and it's a pretty good indication that
there's no valid BMC there.  So issue and check that command and bail
if it fails.
