Stop reading (and copying) from ieee80211_tx_rate to ath_tx_info.rates after list end tag (count == 0, idx < 0), prevents copying of garbage to card registers. Note: no need to write to the remaining ath_tx_info.rates entries as the complete ath_tx_info struct is already initialized to zero from both call sites.
