User managed peering has no way to block the plink state
for mesh peering setup by wpa_supp or authsae. Try to do
allow this in kernel space, so that we can use iw utility
to do that.

Can you please respin with a bit more detail in the commit log?
Thanks.

wpa_supplicant and authsae allows us to do mesh peering in user space,
but the plink state is still managed in kernel space.
But AFAIK, there is no implementation by wpa_supplicant or authsae to
block the plink state.
By applying this patch, we can use the "iw mesh0 station set
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx plink_action block" to block the peer mesh STA. This
is useful for experimenting purposes.

Oops, ok.
