mac80211: strictly check mesh address extension mode
commit 5667c86a upstream. Mesh forwarding path checks for address extension mode to fetch appropriate proxied address and MPP address. Existing condition that looks for 6 address format is not strict enough so that frames with improper values are processed and invalid entries are added into MPP table. Fix that by adding a stricter check before processing the packet. Per IEEE Std 802.11s-2011 spec. Table 7-6g1 lists address extension mode 0x3 as reserved one. And also Table Table 9-13 does not specify 0x3 as valid address field.
