mac80211: fix NULL pointer dereference in ieee80211_compatible_rates

Browse Source 
Fix a possible NULL pointer dereference in ieee80211_compatible_rates
introduced in the patch "mac80211: fix association with some APs". If no bss
is available just use all supported rates in the association request.
