Subject: [PATCH][next] mac80211: minstrel_ht: fix infinite loop because supported is not being shifted

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

Currently the for-loop will spin forever if variable supported is
non-zero because supported is never changed.  Fix this by adding in
the missing right shift of supported.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Infinite loop")
Fixes: 48cb39522a9d ("mac80211: minstrel_ht: improve rate probing for devices with static fallback")
