mesh: Fix inactivity timer for 32 bit system

Browse Source 
Commit 5a2a6de6a5 ('mesh: Make inactivity
timer configurable') has a problem on 32 bit systems. Setting
NL80211_MESHCONF_PLINK_TIMEOUT to 0xffffffff causes expiration of STA in
a minute by NL80211_CMD_DEL_STATION event. this is the kernel rule for
STA expiration:

(current jiffies) > (frame Rx jiffies + NL80211_MESHCONF_PLINK_TIMEOUT * 250)

On a 32 bit system, the right side could overflow and be unexpected
small value if NL80211_MESHCONF_PLINK_TIMEOUT is sufficiently large. STA
expiration occurs by this reason.

This patch solves the problem by disabling the STA expiration
functionality in mac80211. However, old kernel does not support
disabling it. If so, this patch sets mac80211 inactivity timer 60
seconds into future from the wpa_supplicant inactivity timer.

And I mis-understood that mesh_max_inactivity=0 disables inactivity
timer in wpa_supplicant. This commit fixes it also.
