The null-ptr-deref problem fixed in the following patch is hit on older
branches.
The patch failed to be initially backported into stable branches older
than 5.15 due to the fix-spell-comment commit ab4040df6efb ("mac80211: fix
some spelling mistakes"). Now it can be cleanly applied to the 5.4/5.10
stable branches.
I'm not sure if the comment-fix patch should be backported in these cases,
too (to prevent similar potential future backport fails). Probably not.
So I just adapted the backport patch in-place.
From: Pavel Skripkin <[email protected]>
commit 8b5cb7e41d9d77ffca036b0239177de123394a55 upstream.
Syzbot hit NULL deref in rhashtable_free_and_destroy(). The problem was
in mesh_paths and mpp_paths being NULL.
mesh_pathtbl_init() could fail in case of memory allocation failure, but
nobody cared, since ieee80211_mesh_init_sdata() returns void. It led to
leaving 2 pointers as NULL. Syzbot has found null deref on exit path,
but it could happen anywhere else, because code assumes these pointers are
valid.
Since all ieee80211_*_setup_sdata functions are void and do not fail,
let's embedd mesh_paths and mpp_paths into parent struct to avoid
adding error handling on higher levels and follow the pattern of others
setup_sdata functions

This also worked for 4.19.y, but not 4.14.y, care to also fix it there?

Yes, thank you. I missed 4.19.y - the bug can be triggered there and the fix
can be applied.
As for 4.14.y, there were some untrivial changes in the code so the
current fix cannot be backported safely.
