[PATCH 5.15 007/177] mac80211: fix rate control for retransmitted frames

From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@nbd.name>

commit 18688c80ad8a8dd50523dc9276e929932cac86d4 upstream.

Since retransmission clears info->control, rate control needs to be called
again, otherwise the driver might crash due to invalid rates.
