Subject: [PATCH 5.4 34/90] mac80211: mesh: restrict airtime metric to peered established plinks

From: Markus Theil <markus.theil@...ilmenau.de>

[ Upstream commit 02a614499600af836137c3fbc4404cd96365fff2 ]

The following warning is triggered every time an unestablished mesh peer
gets dumped. Checks if a peer link is established before retrieving the
airtime link metric.
