mac80211: fix NULL dereference in radiotap code
When receiving failed PLCP frames is enabled, there won't be a rate pointer when we add the radiotap header and thus the kernel will crash. Fix this by not assuming the rate pointer is always valid. It's still always valid for frames that have good PLCP though, and that is checked & enforced. This was broken by my commit fc885189 Author: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Date: Fri Jul 30 13:23:12 2010 +0200 mac80211: don't check rates on PLCP error frames where I removed the check in this case but didn't take into account that the rate info would be used.
