Subject: [PATCH 3.16 177/370] mei: move write cb to completion on
 credentials failures

3.16.42-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Alexander Usyskin <alexander.usyskin@...el.com>

commit e09ee853c92011860a4bd2fbdf6126f60fc16bd3 upstream.

The credentials handling was pushed to the write handlers
but error handling wasn't done properly.
Move write callbacks to completion queue to destroy them
and to notify a blocked writer about the failure

Fixes: 136698e535cd1 (mei: push credentials inside the irq write handler)
