mac80211: fix rts threshold check
Currently whenever rts thresold is set, every packet will use RTS
protection no matter its size exceeds the threshold or not. This is
due to a bug in the rts threshold check.
if (len > tx->local->hw.wiphy->rts_threshold) {
txrc.rts = rts = true;
}
Basically it is comparing an int (len) and a u32 (rts_threshold),
and the variable len is assigned as:
len = min_t(int, tx->skb->len + FCS_LEN,
tx->local->hw.wiphy->frag_threshold);
However, when frag_threshold is "-1", len is always "-1", which is
0xffffffff therefore rts is always set to true.
