Subject: [PATCH 4.18 119/235] mei: bus: need to unlink client before freeing

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

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

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

commit 34f1166afd67f9f48a08c52f36180048908506a4 upstream.

In case a client fails to connect in mei_cldev_enable(), the
caller won't call the mei_cldev_disable leaving the client
in a linked stated. Upon driver unload the client structure
will be freed in  mei_cl_bus_dev_release(), leaving a stale pointer
on a fail_list.  This will eventually end up in crash
during power down flow in mei_cl_set_disonnected().
