wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: use FW rate for non-data only on new devices

Browse source

With MLO connections we need to let the firmware pick the rate
as we don't know the link the frame might be transmitted on
(in some cases we do know, but we'd rather always use the FW
and find bugs.) We _did_ end up finding bugs and fixing them,
but older devices likely won't get fixed as we don't have a
need for this there, they cannot support MLO.

Thus, go back to picking a rate on the host for the relevant
frames on older (pre-Bz) devices.
