Subject: [PATCH 4.14 058/496] mac80211: mesh: fix wrong mesh TTL offset calculation

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

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

From: Peter Oh <peter.oh@...erswilkins.com>

[ Upstream commit c4de37ee2b55deac7d6aeac33e02e3d6be243898 ]

mesh TTL offset in Mesh Channel Switch Parameters element depends on
not only Secondary Channel Offset element, but also affected by
HT Control field and Wide Bandwidth Channel Switch element.
So use element structure to manipulate mesh channel swich param IE
after removing its constant attribution to correct the miscalculation.
