[PATCH] mac80211: fix crash on getting sta info with uninitialized rate control

[Felix Fietkau]

If the expected throughput is queried before rate control has been
initialized, the minstrel op for it will crash while trying to access
the rate table.
Check for WLAN_STA_RATE_CONTROL before attempting to use the rate
control op.
