Felix Fietkau 3a12c6679e mac80211: replace legacy minstrel with minstrel_ht, improve rate selection
Legacy minstrel is essentially unmaintained and was showing poor performance
Replace it with minstrel_ht and improve rate selection and sampling behavior

Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: minstrel_ht: improve sample rate selection
Always allow sampling of rates faster than the primary max throughput rate.
When the second max_tp_rate is higher than the first one, sample attempts were
previously skipped, potentially causing rate control to get stuck at a slightly
lower rate
