Subject: mei: don't unset read cb ptr on reset
From: Alexander Usyskin <alexander.usyskin@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 5cb906c7035f03a3a44fecece9d3ff8fcc75d6e0 upstream.
Don't set read callback to NULL during reset as
this leads to memory leak of both cb and its buffer.
The memory is correctly freed during mei_release.
The memory leak is detectable by kmemleak if
application has open read call while system is going through
suspend/resume.
