Subject: [PATCH v4] wifi: mac80211: fix integer overflow in
 hwmp_route_info_get()

Since the new_metric and last_hop_metric variables can reach
the MAX_METRIC(0xffffffff) value, an integer overflow may occur
when multiplying them by 10/9. It can lead to incorrect behavior.

Found by InfoTeCS on behalf of Linux Verification Center
(linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

Fixes: a8d418d9ac25 ("mac80211: mesh: only switch path when new metric is at least 10% better")

v2:
- Remove 64-bit arithmetic according to https://lore.kernel.org/all/a6bd38c58f2f7685eac53844f2336432503c328e.camel@sipsolutions.net/
- Replace multiplication by 10/9 with a function that compares metrics by adding 10% without integer overflow
v3:
- Fix a typo (persent->percent)
v4:
- Simplify the is_metric_better() function
- Remove 'inline', add a comment
