    mac80211: work around broken APs not including HT info
    
    There are some APs, notably 2G/3G/4G Wifi routers, specifically
    the "Onda PN51T", "Vodafone PocketWiFi 2" and a similar T-Mobile
    branded device [1] that erroneously don't include all the needed
    information in (re)association response frames. Work around this
    by assuming the information is the same as it was in the beacon
    or probe response and using the data from there instead.
    
    This fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58881.
