mac80211: don't sanitize invalid rates
I found this bug while poking around with a pure-gn AP. Commit: cfg80211/mac80211: Use more generic bitrate mask for rate control Added some sanity checks to ensure that each tx rate index is included in the configured mask and it would change any rate indexes if it wasn't. But, the current implementation doesn't take into account that the invalid rate index "-1" has a special meaning (= no further attempts) and it should not be "changed".
