The regression is caused by a combination of two coding errors
in two separate patches. In addition, this currently only happens
on platforms with AMT watchdog enabled that systemd holds.

Both patches bellow should be applied.

  mei: bus: fix hw module get/put balance
  mei: bus: need to unlink client before freeing
