commit c0d79987a0 upstream.
When setting the fan speed, i8k_set_fan() calls i8k_get_fan_status(),
causing an unnecessary SMM call since from the two users of this
function, only i8k_ioctl_unlocked() needs to know the new fan status
while dell_smm_write() ignores the new fan status.
Since SMM calls can be very slow while also making error reporting
difficult for dell_smm_write(), remove the function call from
i8k_set_fan() and call it separately in i8k_ioctl_unlocked().
Tested on a Dell Inspiron 3505.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
