Subject: mei: bus: call mei_cl_read_start under device lock

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

commit bc46b45a421a64a0895dd41a34d3d2086e1ac7f6 upstream.

Ensure that mei_cl_read_start is called under the device lock
also in the bus layer. The function updates global ctrl_wr_list
which should be locked.
