    This patch fixes 'mei: synchronize irq before initiating a reset'
    The patch had introduced a deadlock between irq thread and mei_reset()
    as they are both holding the same device lock.
    
    ---> device_lock:
    	mei_reset()
                            <---- interrupt thread
    	                        device_lock
    ---> synchornize_irq()
           wait on interrupt thread == (dead lock)
    
    The fix is to call synchronize_irq
    prior to call locked mei_reset function.
