mac80211: mesh: embed known gates list in struct mesh_path

Browse source

The mesh path table uses a struct mesh_node in its hlists in
order to support a resizable hash table: the mesh_node provides
an indirection to the actual mesh path so that two different
bucket lists can point to the same path entry.

However, for the known gates list, we don't need this indirection
because there is ever only one list.  So we can just embed the
hlist_node in the mesh path itself, which simplifies things a bit
and saves a linear search whenever we need to find an item in
the list.
