If a user space program (e.g., wpa_supplicant) deletes a STA entry that
is currently in NL80211_PLINK_ESTAB state, the number of established
plinks counter was not decremented and this could result in rejecting
new plink establishment before really hitting the real maximum plink
limit. For !user_mpm case, this decrementation is handled by
mesh_plink_deactive().

Fix this by decrementing estab_plinks on STA deletion
(mesh_sta_cleanup() gets called from there) so that the counter has a
correct value and the Beacon frame advertisement in Mesh Configuration
element shows the proper value for capability to accept additional
peers.

Does it have to be done before the mesh_accept_plinks_update()?

If not, you should put it with the existing u.mesh.user_mpm check. If
yes, then the code is further buggy since only mesh_plink_deactivate()
will call it when the kernel MPM is used.
