[PATCH] mac80211: clean up mesh RCU warning

[Thomas Pedersen <thomas@cozybit.com>]

When running a kernel with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU, the minstrel
rate update code would complain about being called without
the RCU read lock held. This is because
mesh_sta_info_init() may or may not have been called under
RCU read lock. Perform some bureaucratic critical section
toggling to always call mesh_sta_info_init() under RCU,
and silence this warning.
