    wifi: ath11k: initialize rx_mcs_80 and rx_mcs_160 before use
    
    [ Upstream commit b802e7b7e771dee3377d071418281f8b64d2d832 ]
    
    Currently in ath11k_peer_assoc_h_he() rx_mcs_80 and rx_mcs_160
    are used to calculate max_nss, see
            if (support_160)
                    max_nss = min(rx_mcs_80, rx_mcs_160);
            else
                    max_nss = rx_mcs_80;
    
    Kernel test robot complains on uninitialized symbols:
    drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c:2321 ath11k_peer_assoc_h_he() error: uninitialized symbol 'rx_mcs_80'.
    drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c:2321 ath11k_peer_assoc_h_he() error: uninitialized symbol 'rx_mcs_160'.
    drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c:2323 ath11k_peer_assoc_h_he() error: uninitialized symbol 'rx_mcs_80'.
    
    This is because there are some code paths that never set them, so
    the assignment of max_nss can come from uninitialized variables.
    This could result in some unknown issues since a wrong peer_nss
    might be passed to firmware.
    
    Change to initialize them to an invalid value at the beginning. This
    makes sense because even max_nss gets an invalid value, due to either
    or both of them being invalid, we can get an valid peer_nss with
    following guard:
            arg->peer_nss = min(sta->deflink.rx_nss, max_nss)
