Bob Copeland 1d6741d864 mac80211: mesh: fix premature update of rc stats
The mesh_neighbour_update() function, queued via beacon rx, can race with
userspace creating the same station.  If the station already exists by the
time mesh_neighbour_update() is called, the function wrongly assumes rate
control has been initialized and calls rate_control_rate_update(), which
in turn calls into the driver.

Updating the rate control before it has been initialized can cause a
crash in some drivers, for example this firmware crash in ath10k due
to sta->rx_nss being 0:

Fix this by checking whether the sta has already initialized rate control
using the flag for that purpose.  We can also drop the unnecessary insert
parameter here.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
