In case the rate mask for one of the modulations was zero the
max rate idx for that modulation was set to 32 (BITS_PER_LONG).
This is bad as it would later lead to an out of bounds access
to the expected tpt table. In most cases there was no real effect
as the expected tpt was set to 0 and this led to avoiding the
modulation effectively.
Fix the out of bounds access and explicitly skip the modulation
in case there's no rate allowed in it.

When Tx STBC is being used and RS switches to a search column
using the alternate antenna from the current one there is a
problem with using rs_rate_match to figure out which table
is the active and which one is the search one. The root cause
is because in STBC the antenna mask in the ucode rate is set
to ANT_AB and in this specific scenario it matches both the
active and search table (e.g. SISO_ANT_A and SISO_ANT_B).
This leads to tx stats being updated in the wrong table and later
on to getting stuck in a test window and not moving on to other
columns. If this happens during the initial search cycle we
never end it and therefore never enable aggregation which leads
naturally to severe througput degradation.
Fix it by deducing which table is which by knowing whether we're
in a search or not like it's being done in rs_rate_scale_perform

The expected throughput table used when estimating a new column
depends on the channel bandwidth. When switching from legacy to
siso or mimo the wrong expected throughput table was used as it
was chosen based on the the channel bandwidth in legacy which is
always 20Mhz. Instead it should be chosen based on the current sta
bandwidth which could be also 40Mhz or 80Mhz.
When enabling MCS9 this bug leads to a problem where the max
expected throughput of the siso or mimo column is 0 as MCS9 isn't
supported in 20Mhz. This in turns prevents switching to siso or mimo.

Despite having low legacy rates in the LQ table lower entries
it doesn't help much in case we're doing aggregations as the

After being idle for a long time (>5sec) the rs statistics
will be stale so we prefer to reset rs and start from legacy
rates again. This gives better results when the attenuation
increased signficantly (e.g. we got further from the AP) and
after a while we start Tx
Note that the first Tx after the idle period will still go out
in the old modulation and rate but this seemed a simpler approach
compared to adding a timer or modifying mac80211 for this.
The negative impact is negligble as we'll recover quickly.
