Allow to set mcs masks through nl80211. We also allow to set MCS
rates but no legacy rates (and vice versa).

If no tb[NL80211_TXRATE_HT]/tb[NL80211_TXRATE_VHT], it should clear the data like this: memset(mcs, 0, IEEE80211_HT_MCS_MASK_LEN) which is in ht_rateset_to_mask and memset(mcs, 0, sizeof(u16) * NL80211_VHT_NSS_MAX) which is in vht_set_mcs_mask.
