mei: hook mei_device on class device
mei_device lifetime was managed by devm procedure of parent device.
But such memory is freed on device_del.
Mei_device object is used by client object that may be alive after
parent device is removed.
It may lead to use-after-free if discrete graphics driver unloads
mei_gsc auxiliary device while user-space holds open handle to mei
character device.
Connect mei_device structure lifteme to mei class device lifetime
by adding mei_device free to class device remove callback.
Move exising parent device pointer to separate field in mei_device
to avoid misuse.
Allocate character device dynamically and allow to control its own
lifetime as it may outlive mei_device structure while character
device closes after parent device is removed from the system.
Leave power management on parent device as we overwrite pci runtime
pm procedure and user-space is expecting it there.
