mac80211: Select lowest rate based on basic rate set in AP mode
If the basic rate set is configured to not include the lowest rate (e.g., basic rate set = 6, 12, 24 Mbps in IEEE 802.11g mode), the AP should not send out broadcast frames at 1 Mbps. This type of configuration can be used to optimize channel usage in cases where there is no need for backwards compatibility with IEEE 802.11b-only devices. In AP mode, mac80211 was unconditionally using the lowest rate for Beacon frames and similarly, with all rate control algorithms that use rate_control_send_low(), the lowest rate ended up being used for all broadcast frames (and all unicast frames that are sent before association). Change this to take into account the basic rate configuration in AP mode, i.e., use the lowest rate in the basic rate set instead of the lowest supported rate when selecting the rate.
