Go to https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=114151 and copy the attachment 
to your ~/Downloads directory. Then do the following:

sudo cp /lib/firmware/rt2870.bin /lib/firmware/rt2870.bin_old
sudo cp ~/Downloads/rt2870.bin /lib/firmware/.
sudo modprobe -rv rt2x00usb
sudo modprobe -v rt2x00usb

If your testing shows a regression in performance, then you can recover by 
copying rt2870.bin_old to rt2870.bin in /lib/firmware.
