wifi: rtw88: validate RX rate to prevent out-of-bound
The reported RX rate might be unexpected, causing kernel warns:
Rate marked as a VHT rate but data is invalid: MCS: 0, NSS: 0
WARNING: net/mac80211/rx.c:5491 at ieee80211_rx_list+0x183/0x1020 [mac80211]
As the RX rate can be index of an array under certain conditions, validate
it to prevent accessing array out-of-bound potentially.
Tested on HP Notebook P3S95EA#ACB (kernel 6.19.9-1-cachyos):
- No WARNING: net/mac80211/rx.c:5491 observed after the v2 patch.
The unexpected `NSS: 0, MCS: 0` VHT rate warnings are successfully
mitigated.
- The system remains fully stable through prolonged idle periods,
high network load, active Bluetooth A2DP usage, and multiple deep
suspend/resume cycles.
- Zero h2c timeouts or firmware lps state errors observed in dmesg.
