[055/105] mac80211: fix a crash in minstrel_ht in HT mode with no supported MCS rates

From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org>

commit 4dc217df68a17a57f8464c74c1b4785e40bddf77 upstream.

When a client connects in HT mode but does not provide any valid MCS
rates, the function that finds the next sample rate gets stuck in an
infinite loop.
Fix this by falling back to legacy rates if no usable MCS rates are found.
