Allow distinguishing the non-station case from the case of a
station without rates, by using -1 for the non-station case.
This value cannot be reached with a station since that many
legacy rates don't exist.

Johannes Berg says:

====================
For the current cycle, we have the following right now:
 * many internal fixes, API improvements, cleanups, etc.
 * full AP client state tracking in cfg80211/mac80211 from Ayala
 * VHT support (in mac80211) for mesh
 * some A-MSDU in A-MPDU support from Emmanuel
 * show current TX power to userspace (from Rafał)
 * support for netlink dump in vendor commands (myself)
====================

If there are no supported rates in the rate mask with the required
flags, we warn, but it's not clear which part causes the warning.

Add the relevant data to the warning to understand why it happens.

<title>mac80211: Do not use sizeof() on pointer type</title>

The rate_control_cap_mask() function takes a parameter mcs_mask, which
GCC will take to be u8 * even though it was declared with a fixed size.
This causes the following warning:

	net/mac80211/rate.c: In function 'rate_control_cap_mask':
	net/mac80211/rate.c:719:25: warning: 'sizeof' on array function parameter 'mcs_mask' will return size of 'u8 * {aka unsigned char *}' [-Wsizeof-array-argument]
	   for (i = 0; i &lt; sizeof(mcs_mask); i++)
	                         ^
	net/mac80211/rate.c:684:10: note: declared here
	       u8 mcs_mask[IEEE80211_HT_MCS_MASK_LEN],
	          ^

This can be easily fixed by using the IEEE80211_HT_MCS_MASK_LEN directly
within the loop condition.

 "Main excitement here is Peter Zijlstra's lockless rbtree optimization
  to speed module address lookup.  He found some abusers of the module
  lock doing that too.

  A little bit of parameter work here too; including Dan Streetman's
  breaking up the big param mutex so writing a parameter can load
  another module (yeah, really).  Unfortunately that broke the usual
  suspects, !CONFIG_MODULES and !CONFIG_SYSFS, so those fixes were
  appended too"

* tag 'modules-next-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux: (26 commits)
  modules: only use mod-&gt;param_lock if CONFIG_MODULES
  param: fix module param locks when !CONFIG_SYSFS.
  rcu: merge fix for Convert ACCESS_ONCE() to READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE()
  module: add per-module param_lock
  module: make perm const
  params: suppress unused variable error, warn once just in case code changes.
  modules: clarify CONFIG_MODULE_COMPRESS help, suggest 'N'.
  kernel/module.c: avoid ifdefs for sig_enforce declaration
  kernel/workqueue.c: remove ifdefs over wq_power_efficient
