mac80211: mesh: embed gates hlist head directly

Since we have converted the mesh path tables to rhashtable, we are no longer swapping out the entire mesh_pathtbl pointer with RCU. As a result, we no longer need indirection to the hlist head for the gates list and can simply embed it, saving a pair of pointer-sized allocations.
