mei: fix mismatch in mutex unlock-lock in mei_amthif_read()
Users of mei_amthif_read() expect it leaves dev->device_lock held, while there is a path where mei_amthif_read() unlocks device_lock and returns -ERESTARTSYS. The patch move code locking device_lock back before the return. Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
