Assigning arsta holded last_txrate pointer to status.rate create race 
condition problem b/w sta delete and ieee80211_tx_status_ext, no ?
Hw we ensure that arsta pointer is valid until ieee80211_tx_status_ext() 
processing?

Instead why don't we have local struct rate_info and assign like below 
code snippet

        struct rate_info rate;
...
        rate = arsta->last_txrate;
        status.rate = &rate;
