wpa_supplicant and authsae allows us to do mesh peering in user space,
but the plink state is still managed in kernel space.

But AFAIK, there is no implementation by wpa_supplicant or authsae to
block the plink state.

By applying this patch, we can use the "iw mesh0 station set
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx plink_action block" to block the peer mesh STA. This
is useful for experimenting purposes.
