[char-misc 3.6] mei: add mei_quirk_probe function

[Tomas Winkler]

The main purpose of this function is to exclude ME devices
without support for MEI/HECI interface from binding

Currently affected systems are C600/X79 based servers
that expose PCI device even though it doesn't supported ME Interface.
MEI driver accessing such nonfunctional device can corrupt
the system.
