Subject: [PATCH 55/72] ath9k: stop on rates with idx -1 in ath9k rate
 control's .tx_status

commit 2504a6423b9ab4c36df78227055995644de19edb upstream.

Rate control algorithms are supposed to stop processing when they
encounter a rate with the index -1.  Checking for rate->count not being
zero is not enough.

Allowing a rate with negative index leads to memory corruption in
ath_debug_stat_rc().

One consequence of the bug is discussed at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=768639
