mac80211: Ignore VHT IE from peer with wrong rx_mcs_map
This is a workaround for VHT-enabled STAs which break the spec
and have the VHT-MCS Rx map filled in with value 3 for all eight
spacial streams, an example is AR9462 in AP mode.
As per spec, in section 22.1.1 Introduction to the VHT PHY
A VHT STA shall support at least single spactial stream VHT-MCSs
0 to 7 (transmit and receive) in all supported channel widths.
Some devices in STA mode will get firmware assert when trying to
associate, examples are QCA9377 & QCA6174.
Packet example of broken VHT Cap IE of AR9462:
Tag: VHT Capabilities (IEEE Std 802.11ac/D3.1)
Tag Number: VHT Capabilities (IEEE Std 802.11ac/D3.1) (191)
