Why? pf and tx_num_xmit (which is checked in an if leading to this
lines) are modified between this point and where you want to move the
code. If it is necessary I can add a 'broken link' flag to execute
mesh_plink_broken later.

I think by now I will keep using fail_avg, but if you figure out a
better way to compute a meaningful value please feel free to modify it.
What we need is the probability (value between 0 and 1, now using
integers from 0 to 100 to represent it) that a frame sent in the near
future to this station will fail and will have to be retransmitted.
