mei: fix use-after-free in mei_cl_write
KASAN reports a use-after-free during startup, in mei_cl_write: BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in mei_cl_write+0x601/0x870 [mei] (drivers/misc/mei/client.c:1770) This is caused by commit 98e7086 ("mei: add support for variable length mei headers."), which changed the return value from len, to buf->size. That ends up using a stale buf pointer, because blocking call, the cb (callback) is deleted in me_cl_complete() function. However, fortunately, len remains unchanged throughout the function (and I don't see anything else that would require re-reading buf->size either), so the fix is to simply revert the change, and return len, as before. Fixes: 98e7086 ("mei: add support for variable length mei headers.")
