mac80211: mesh: add missing case to PERR processing

When the nexthop is unable to resolve its own nexthop it will send back a
PERR with a zero target_sn. According to section 13.10.11.4.3 step b in the
2012 standard that perr should be forwarded and the associated mpath->sn
should be incremented. Neither one of those was happening which is rather
bad because the originator was not told that packets are black holing.
