[PATCH] misc: mei: client.c: fix some error code problem in mei_cl_write

[Su Hui]

Clang static analyzer complains that value stored to 'rets' is never
read. Remove some useless code, and let 'buf_len = -EOVERFLOW' to make
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")
