minstrel: fix warning if lowest supported rate index is not 0

Browse source 
This patch fixes the following WARNING (caused by rix_to_ndx): "
>WARNING: at net/mac80211/rc80211_minstrel.c:69 minstrel_rate_init+0xd2/0x33a [mac80211]()

The reason is that I'm experimenting with "g" only mode on a 802.11 b/g card.

Therefore rate_lowest_index returns 4 (= 6Mbit, instead of usual 0 = 1Mbit).
Since mi->r array is initialized with zeros in minstrel_alloc_sta,
rix_to_ndx has a hard time to find the 6Mbit entry and will trigged the WARNING.
