mac80211: reject/clear user rate mask if not usable
If the user rate mask results in no (basic) rates being usable, clear it. Also, if we're already operating when it's set, reject it instead. Technically, selecting basic rates as the criterion is a bit too restrictive, but calculating the usable rates over all stations (e.g. in AP mode) is harder, and all stations must support the basic rates. Similarly, in client mode, the basic rates will be used anyway for control frames. This fixes the "no supported rates (...) in rate_mask ..." warning that occurs on TX when you've selected a rate mask that's not compatible with the connection (e.g. an AP that enables only the rates 36, 48, 54 and you've selected only 6, 9, 12.)
