mac80211: Check size of a new mesh path table for changes since allocation.
Not sure if I'm chasing a ghost here, seems like the
mesh_path->size_order needs to be inside an RCU-read section to prevent
that value from changing between table allocation and copying. We have
observed crashes that might be caused by this.
