The original mei driver communication was strictly write command and
receive response flow, the completion of write was determined when
response was ready using select(). This paradigm is a long time not
true. There can be write without a response and an unsolicited read.
The driver is capable of handling those.
Adjust also the sample code and remove select() on read() from the
write flow. Add select to the read flow to showcase how to do the
read with a timeout.

There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having a
dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code should
always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The older style of
one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2].

Move misc-devices/mei examples to samples/mei and remove it from
Documentation Makefile. Delete misc-devices/Makefile.
Create a new Makefile to build samples/mei. It can be built from top
level directory or from mei directory:
Run make -C samples/mei or cd samples/mei; make
