mac80211: mesh: don't invalidate SN on discovery failure
The 2012 spec mentions that path SNs can be invalid when created (see section 13.10.8.4 table 13-9) but AFAICT never talks about invalidating SNs. Which makes sense: if we have figured out the path to a target at a certain SN then we want to remember that fact. Failing to do so can lead to routing loops because if we don't have a valid SN then we have no way of knowing whether an incoming path message leads to or away from the target. However currently when discovery fails we zero out mpath->flags which clears MESH_PATH_SN_VALID. This patch fixes that so that only the discovery relevant flags are cleared.
