mac80211: Fix sleeping allocation under lock in mesh_path_node_copy.
The mesh_path_node_copy() can be called like this:
mesh_path_add
`- write_lock(&pathtbl_resize_lock); /* ! */
`- mesh_table_grow
`- ->copy_node
`- mesh_path_node_copy
thus, the GFP_KERNEL is not suitable here.
The acceptable fix, I suppose, is make this allocation GPF_ATOMIC -
the mpath_node being allocated is 4 pointers, i.e. this allocation
is small enough to survive even under a moderate memory pressure.
