Miaoqing Pan b501426cf8 nl80211: fix null pointer dereference
If the interface is not in MESH mode, the command 'iw wlanx mpath del'
will cause kernel panic.

The root cause is null pointer access in mpp_flush_by_proxy(), as the
pointer 'sdata->u.mesh.mpp_paths' is NULL for non MESH interface.

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000068

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
