Subject: [PATCH] mwifiex: avoid out of bounds access in mwifiex_get_common_rates.

Check that the array indexes are in-bounds before accessing the rate2 and tmp
arrays.

Found with the following semantic patch:

<smpl>
@@
identifier t;
identifier idx;
expression E;
statement S;
@@
* for (... ; <+... t[idx] ...+> && idx < E ; ...)
S
</smpl>
