Subject: CVE-2024-40942: wifi: mac80211: mesh: Fix leak of mesh_preq_queue objects

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: mac80211: mesh: Fix leak of mesh_preq_queue objects

The hwmp code use objects of type mesh_preq_queue, added to a list in
ieee80211_if_mesh, to keep track of mpath we need to resolve. If the mpath
gets deleted, ex mesh interface is removed, the entries in that list will
never get cleaned. Fix this by flushing all corresponding items of the
preq_queue in mesh_path_flush_pending().

This should take care of KASAN reports like this:

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
