Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: fix regression when initializing ibss wmm params

There appear to be two regressions in ibss.c when calling
ieee80211_sta_def_wmm_params():
* the second argument should be a rate length, not a rate array. This
was introduced by my commit "mac80211: select and adjust bitrates
according to channel mode"
* the third argument is not initialized (anymore), making further
checks within this function useless.

Since ieee80211_sta_def_wmm_params() is only used by ibss anyway,
remove the function entirely and handle the operating mode decision
immediately.
