mac80211: clean up mesh local link ID generation
802.11-2012 13.3.1 implicitly limits the mesh local link ID range to that of AID, since for mesh PS the local link ID must be indicated in the TIM IE, which only holds IEEE80211_MAX_AID bits. Also the code was allowing a local link ID of 0, but this is not correct since that TIM bit is used for indicating buffered mcast frames. Generate a random, unique, link ID from 1 - 2007, and drop a modulo conversion for the local link ID, but keep it for the peer link ID in case he chose something > MAX_AID.
