[PATCH 5.9 230/252] mac80211: minstrel: fix tx status processing corner case

commit b2911a84396f72149dce310a3b64d8948212c1b3 upstream.

Some drivers fill the status rate list without setting the rate index after
the final rate to -1. minstrel_ht already deals with this, but minstrel
doesn't, which causes it to get stuck at the lowest rate on these drivers.

Fix this by checking the count as well.
