nl80211: fix null pointer dereference

If the interface is not in MESH mode, the command 'iw wlanx mpath del'
will cause kernel panic.

The root cause is null pointer access in mpp_flush_by_proxy(), as the
pointer 'sdata->u.mesh.mpp_paths' is NULL for non MESH interface.

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000068
