Subject: [char-misc-next 1/3] mei: make me client counters less error prone

1. u8 counters are prone to hard to detect overflow:
 make them unsigned long to match bit_ functions argument type

2. don't check me_clients_num for negativity, it is unsigned.

3. init all the me client counters from one place
