[PATCH review for 4.9 43/50] mei: return error on notification request to a disconnected client

[Levin, Alexander (Sasha Levin)]

From: Alexander Usyskin <alexander.usyskin@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 7c47d2ca0feca767479329da23523ed798acb854 ]

Request for a notification from a disconnected client will be ignored
silently by the FW but the caller should know that the operation hasn't
succeeded.
