After commit 1928ecab620907a0953f811316d05f367f3f4dba (mac80211: fix and
simplify mesh locking) mesh table allocation is performed with the
pathtbl_resize_lock taken.  Under those conditions one should not sleep.
This patch makes the allocations GFP_ATOMIC to prevent that.

<title>mac80211: annotate and fix RCU in mesh code</title>

This adds proper RCU annotations to the mesh path
table code, and fixes a number of bugs in the code
that I found while checking the sparse warnings I
got as a result of the annotations.

Some things like the changes in mesh_path_add() or
mesh_pathtbl_init() only serve to shut up sparse,
but other changes like the changes surrounding the
for_each_mesh_entry() macro fix real RCU bugs in
the code.

The locking in mesh_{mpath,mpp}_table_grow not only
has an rcu_read_unlock() missing, it's also racy
(though really only technically since it's invoked
from a single function only) since it obtains the
new size of the table without any locking, so two
invocations of the function could attempt the same
resize.

Additionally, it uses synchronize_rcu() which is
rather expensive and can be avoided trivially here.

Modify the functions to only use the table lock
and use call_rcu() instead of synchronize_rcu().

<title>mac80211: Deactivate mesh path timers when freeing nodes</title>

<content type='text'>
Mesh paths are deleted via mesh_path_del() which properly
deactivates the timer associated to a mesh path.  But if paths were
deleted by mesh_table_free(..., true) timers would not be deactivated.
This fixes this case.

There's no need to have table functions in one
file and all users in another, move the functions
to the right file and make them static. Also move
a static variable to the beginning of the file to
make it easier to find.

The mesh and mpp path tables are accessed from softirq and workqueue
context so non-irq locking cannot be used.  Or at least that's what
PROVE_RCU seems to tell us here:

Not sure if I'm chasing a ghost here, seems like the
mesh_path-&gt;size_order needs to be inside an RCU-read section to prevent
that value from changing between table allocation and copying.  We have
observed crashes that might be caused by this.
