Subject: [PATCH 5.10 11/43] mac80211: initialize variable have_higher_than_11mbit

From: Tom Rix <trix@...hat.com>

commit 68a18ad71378a56858141c4449e02a30c829763e upstream.

Clang static analysis reports this warnings

mlme.c:5332:7: warning: Branch condition evaluates to a
  garbage value
    have_higher_than_11mbit)
    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

have_higher_than_11mbit is only set to true some of the time in
ieee80211_get_rates() but is checked all of the time.  So
have_higher_than_11mbit needs to be initialized to false.
