ipmitool sdr verbose bad performance fix

Description of problem:

Context : This bug has been detected with a DELL BMC Board on server PowerEdge 1950 and PowerEdge 2950.

When using the verbose mode for getting the extended sensor informations with the command "ipmitool -v sdr", the command takes a very long time to retrieve the sensors data.

A similar bug has been corrected for the non verbose mode (Command ipmitool sdr) upstream and in RedHat (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=722462).

However, in the verbose mode calls the functions "ipmi_sdr_get_sensor_event_status" and "ipmi_sdr_get_sensor_event_enable" in which the correction has not been reported and it seems that it is also needed in these functions.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ipmitool 1.8.11

How reproducible:

Execute the command ipmitool -v sdr on a PowerEdge Server 1950 or 2950.

Actual results:

The execution time is more than 10 minutes !

Expected results:

The execution time should be about 2 seconds.

Additional info: The bug has been raised upstream. Please see the bug report here : https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3429710&group_id=95200&atid=610550.
