mei: pull kvfree out of spinlock
The read buffer allocation was changed from kmalloc() to kvmalloc().
This buffer is part of mei_cl_cb structure that can be queued in
rd_complete queue protected by spinlock.
Releasing the structure leads to errors like below when freeing buffer
that allocated non-contiguous:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/vmalloc.c:3448
Separate mei_cl_cb structure dequeue and release to
perform only dequeue under spinlock and push release out of spinlock.
