Subject: [ 16/57] mei: make me client counters less error prone

3.11-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Tomas Winkler <tomas.winkler@...el.com>

commit 1aee351a739153529fbb98ee461777b2abd5e1c9 upstream.

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
