Subject: [PATCH v2] mac80211: Fix rate reporting regression

Mattias Nissler's "clean up rate selection" patch incorrectly changes
the behavior of txrate setting in sta_info. This patch backs out parts
of the rate selection consolidation in order to fix this issue for now.

Thanks to Stefano Brivio for pointing out the refcounting issues in the
previous patch.
