Subject: mac80211: Fix addition of mesh configuration element
From: Ilan peer <ilan.peer@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 57629915d568c522ac1422df7bba4bee5b5c7a7c upstream.
The code was setting the capabilities byte to zero,
after it was already properly set previously. Fix it.
The bug was found while debugging hwsim mesh tests failures
that happened since the commit mentioned below.
