wifi: mac80211: fix memory corruption in minstrel_ht_update_rates()
During our testing of WFM200 module over SDIO on i.MX6Q-based platform,
we discovered a memory corruption on the system, tracing back to the wfx
driver. Using kfence, it was possible to trace it back to the root
cause, which is hw->max_rates set to 8 in wfx_init_common,
while the maximum defined by IEEE80211_TX_TABLE_SIZE is 4.
This causes array out-of-bounds writes during updates of the rate table,
as seen below:

After discussion on the wireless mailing list it was clarified
that the issue has been introduced by:
commit ee0e16a ("mac80211: minstrel_ht: fill all requested rates")
and fix shall be in minstrel_ht_update_rates in rc80211_minstrel_ht.c.
