Clang static analyzer complains that value stored to 'rets' is never

sure we can return '-EOVERFLOW'.

mei_msg_hdr_init() return negative error code, rets should be
'PTR_ERR(mei_hdr)' rather than '-PTR_ERR(mei_hdr)'.

Fixes: 0cd7c01a60f8 ("mei: add support for mei extended header.")
Fixes: 8c8d964ce90f ("mei: move hbuf_depth from the mei device to the hw modules")

This looks like a bugfix, while the other changes here are just a normal
cleanup.  Can you please split this up into different patches?
I will split this right now.
Thanks for your suggestion!
