Subject: mac80211: fix invalid read in minstrel_sort_best_tp_rates()
From: Adrien Schildknecht <adrien+dev@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit f5eeb5fa191fd7b634cbc4883ac58f3b2184dbc5 upstream.
At the last iteration of the loop, j may equal zero and thus
tp_list[j - 1] causes an invalid read.
Change the logic of the loop so that j - 1 is always >= 0.
