mei: nfc: fix deadlock on shutdown/suspend path
In function mei_nfc_host_exit mei_cl_remove_device cannot be called under the device mutex as device removing flow invokes the device driver remove handler that calls in turn to mei_cl_disable_device which naturally acquires the device mutex. Also remove mei_cl_bus_remove_devices which has the same issue, but is never executed as currently the only device on the mei client bus is NFC and a new device cannot be easily added till the bus revamp is completed. This fixes regression caused by commit be9b720a0ccb ("mei_phy: move all nfc logic from mei driver to nfc") Prior to this change the nfc driver remove handler called to no-op disable function while actual nfc device was disabled directly from the mei driver.
