Subject: [PATCH 3.18 13/36] mac80211: fix the update of path metric for RANN frame

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Chun-Yeow Yeoh <yeohchunyeow@...il.com>


[ Upstream commit fbbdad5edf0bb59786a51b94a9d006bc8c2da9a2 ]

The previous path metric update from RANN frame has not considered
the own link metric toward the transmitting mesh STA. Fix this.
