[PATCH -next] mei: fix krealloc() misuse in in mei_cl_irq_read_msg()

[Wei Yongjun]

From: Wei Yongjun <yongjun_wei@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

If krealloc() returns NULL, it doesn't free the original. So any code
of the form 'foo = krealloc(foo, ...);' is almost certainly a bug.

Introduced by commit fcb136e1ac5774909e0d85189f721b8dfa800e0f(mei: fix
reading large reposnes)
