wifi: mac80211: don't apply peer rates to off-channel frames

Browse source

All the off-channel frames (including scan) aren't really part of
the connection, so don't apply the station rates even if they're
being sent to the station in question (e.g. by accident). They
don't use the rate mask via IEEE80211_TX_CTRL_DONT_USE_RATE_MASK,
but the station might not have rates of them either, hitting the
warning found by syzbot.
