commit 9116a3683902583a302ac5dcb283416d504d9bb4 upstream. In multicast, there is no retries nor RTS since there is no specific recipient that can ACK or send CTS. This means that we must not use the rate scale table for multicast frames. This true for any frame that doesn't have a valid ieee80211_sta pointer.
