Why not just remove the WARN_ON instead?

Well, iwl_legacy_rate_to_fw_idx() _tries_ to return -1 if we can't find
the index.

But there are a few more wrong things in this implementation:

1. the iwl_legacy_rate_to_fw_idx() function is only called inside the
fw/rs.c file, so it should be static;

2. if we don't find the idx and return -1, we WARN but still use the
value, which will cause the rate_v2 to be set to 0xffffffff, which I'm
pretty sure is not the intention.

So, this should be fixed properly, rather than just changing the
function to return int.
