The value of last_rate in ieee80211_sta_rx_stats is degraded from u32 to
u16 after being assigned to rate variable, which causes information loss
in STA_STATS_FIELD_TYPE and later bitfields.

In struct ieee80211_sta_rx_stats, `last_rate` is u32, hence this local `rate`
must be u32, or information loss may happen. Agreed.

P.S.: Sorry for sending twice, the first one got out of the wrong mailbox.
