This can make the kernel to remember a growing list of proxied mac addresses which are not relevant or even reachable anymore. This patchset adds two additional cleanup paths for MPP table entries to remove them when their corresponding mesh node is removed or when the MPP table entry is not used for MESH_PATH_EXPIRE time.
