ieee80211s_update_metric function uses sta_set_rate_info_tx
function to get struct rate_info data from ieee80211_tx_rate
struct, present in ieee80211_sta->tx_stats. However, drivers
can skip tx rate calculation by setting rate idx as -1. Such
drivers provides rate_info directly and hence ieee80211s
metric is updated incorrectly since ieee80211_tx_rate has
inconsistent data.

Add fix to use rate_info directly if present instead of
sta_set_rate_info_tx for updating ieee80211s metric.

This doesn't apply anymore due to 44fa75f207d8 ("mac80211: extend
current rate control tx status API") and the MLO work.

Yes correct. Sure, I will re-base to latest HEAD and resend v2.
