Subject: mac80211: fix the update of path metric for RANN frame
From: Chun-Yeow Yeoh <yeohchunyeow@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit fbbdad5edf0bb59786a51b94a9d006bc8c2da9a2 ]
The previous path metric update from RANN frame has not considered
the own link metric toward the transmitting mesh STA. Fix this.
