mac80211: fix RCU warnings in mesh
Sparse RCU checking reports two warnings in the mesh path table code. These are due to questionable uses of rcu_dereference. To fix the first one, get rid of mesh_gate_add() and just make mesh_path_add_gate() do the correct deref. To fix the second one, simply remove rcu_dereference() in mesh_gate_del() -- it already gets a proper pointer as indicated by the prototype (no __rcu annotation) and confirmed by the code.
