Select appropriate rate as highest rate of rate series, if the frame
was asked to be sent at minimum rate. For example nullfunc frames
either can be sent at HT rates on normal case or at non-HT rates if
it is used for connection monitoring.

Shouldn't the check for IEEE80211_TX_CTL_USE_MINRATE be in
rate_control_send_low(), so that it does not have to be repeated in
every single rate control module?
But I donno what could be the side effect of changing rate_control_send_low
as it is used by all drivers. And also if the rate control provide the
minrate, it can be used to update the PER upon tx status. isnt it?
