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 98e70866 ("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: 98e70866 ("mei: add support for variable length mei headers.")
