Subject: [PATCH net] wifi: airo: avoid uninitialized warning in airo_get_rate()

Quieten a gcc (11.3.0) build error or warning by checking the function
call status and returning -EBUSY if the function call failed.
This is similar to what several other wireless drivers do for the
SIOCGIWRATE ioctl call when there is a locking problem.

drivers/net/wireless/cisco/airo.c: error: 'status_rid.currentXmitRate' is used uninitialized [-Werror=uninitialized]

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
