This patch fixes 'mei: synchronize irq before initiating a reset'
The patch had introduced a deadlock between irq thread and mei_reset()
as they are both holding the same device lock.
---> device_lock:
mei_reset()
<---- interrupt thread
device_lock
---> synchornize_irq()
wait on interrupt thread == (dead lock)
The fix is to call synchronize_irq
prior to call locked mei_reset function.
