mei: do not access freed cb in blocking write
The mei_cl_write function is giving up on a write cb ownership after it was sent or queued. The write cb is then freed in the completion handler. Especially during blocking write mei_cl_write function waits for the completion handler and then access the freed memory to fetch the written size. The quick fix is to store the buffer size prior to sending, the size is not altered during the flow.
