[PATCH] mesh: Make inactivity timer configurable

Tue Jan 13 18:26:06 PST 2015
Current mesh code uses ap_max_inactivity as inactivity timer. This patch makes
it cofigurable.
There is another mesh inactivity timer in mac80211. The timer works even if
user_mpm=1. So this patch sets the max value to the timer for workaround. This
looks bug in mac80211. I will fix the mac80211. But this patch will be needed
for backward compatibility.
