Set the hw flag SUPPORTS_RC_TABLE. That way the skb tx_info will only
have control->rates set for if there are overrides, probing rate, fixed
rate, etc.
That way you can use the default policy if info->control.rates[0].idx == -1

The minstrel_ht algorithm is newer and minstrel just hasn't been updated
for a number of algorithm changes yet.
