wifi: airo: avoid uninitialized warning in airo_get_rate()
[ Upstream commit 9373771aaed17f5c2c38485f785568abe3a9f8c1 ]
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]
