Luis Carlos Cobo eb2b9311fd mac80211: mesh path table implementation 
The mesh path table associates destinations with the next hop to reach them. The
table is a hash of linked lists protected by rcu mechanisms. Every mesh path
contains a lock to protect the mesh path state.

Each outgoing mesh frame requires a look up into this table. Therefore, the
table it has been designed so it is not necessary to hold any lock to find the
appropriate next hop.

If the path is determined to be active within a rcu context we can safely
dereference mpath->next_hop->addr, since it holds a reference to the sta
next_hop. After a mesh path has been set active for the first time it next_hop
must always point to a valid sta.  If this is not possible the mpath must be
deleted or replaced in a RCU safe fashion.
