[ Upstream commit b501426cf86e70649c983c52f4c823b3c40d72a3 ]

If the interface is not in MESH mode, the command 'iw wlanx mpath del'
will cause kernel panic.

The root cause is null pointer access in mpp_flush_by_proxy(), as the
pointer 'sdata->u.mesh.mpp_paths' is NULL for non MESH interface.

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000068
