[PATCH 5.9 205/255] mei: protect mei_cl_mtu from null dereference

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

commit bcbc0b2e275f0a797de11a10eff495b4571863fc upstream.

A receive callback is queued while the client is still connected
but can still be called after the client was disconnected. Upon
disconnect cl->me_cl is set to NULL, hence we need to check
that ME client is not-NULL in mei_cl_mtu to avoid
null dereference.
