[PATCH] iw: Add support for mesh peer link expiration.

[PATCH] iw: Add support for mesh peer link expiration.

[Colleen Twitty]

User can configure the peer link expiration time with a
new mesh parameter, mesh_plink_timeout.  This parameter
sets the expiration time, in seconds, for peer links.
After this time, the peer link is expired.  This means the
inactive STA is removed from the list of peers and is not
considered a peer again unless it re-peers.
