The mpath that is expired and waits for deletion seems to have the
high value consistent for a while, such as 3242852032 in my case.

DEST ADDR         NEXT HOP          IFACE       SN      METRIC  QLEN
 EXPTIME         DTIM    DRET    FLAGS
0a:0b:6b:b6:5c:1e 0a:0b:6b:b6:5c:1e mesh0       236     71      0
 3242852032      0       0       0x14
00:15:6d:b0:e6:b7 00:15:6d:b0:e6:b7 mesh0       0       79      0
 3242852032      0       0       0x10
0a:15:6d:b0:e7:07 00:15:6d:b0:e6:b7 mesh0       7465    150     0
 3242852032      0       0       0x14
0a:0b:6b:b6:5b:11 0a:0b:6b:b6:5b:11 mesh0       4252    64      0
 3242852032      0       0       0x14

Whenever the mpath is expired, pinfo->exptime is not update due to if
condition.
