mac80211: Decouple fail_avg stats used by mesh from rate control algorithm.
Mesh uses the tx failure average to compute the (m)path metric. This used to
be done inside the rate control module. This patch breaks the dependency
between the mesh stack and the rate control algorithm. Mesh will now work
independently of the chosen rate control algorithm.
The mesh stack keeps a moving average of the average transmission losses for
each mesh peer station. If the fail average exceeds a certain threshold, the
peer link is marked as broken.
