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

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
