Felix Fietkau d5edb9ae8d wifi: mac80211: mesh fast xmit support
Previously, fast xmit only worked on interface types where initially a
sta lookup is performed, and a cached header can be attached to the sta,
requiring only some fields to be updated at runtime.

This technique is not directly applicable for a mesh device type due
to the dynamic nature of the topology and protocol. There are more
addresses that need to be filled, and there is an extra header with a
dynamic length based on the addressing mode.

Change the code to cache entries contain a copy of the mesh subframe header +
bridge tunnel header, as well as an embedded struct ieee80211_fast_tx, which
contains the information for building the 802.11 header.

Add a mesh specific early fast xmit call, which looks up a cached entry and
adds only the mesh subframe header, before passing it over to the generic
fast xmit code.

To ensure the changes in network are reflected in these cached headers,
flush affected cached entries on path changes, as well as other conditions
that currently trigger a fast xmit check in other modes (key changes etc.)

This code is loosely based on a previous implementation by:

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.
