nl80211: Try to unmask 11b rates again on next connection request

Browse source 
It is possible for unmasking of 11b rates to fail if a P2P group is
terminated while the netdev is down (e.g., due to rfkill block). This
could result in the 11b TX rates being left masked for non-P2P
operations. This would be particularly unfortunate for channel 14 use
since OFDM rates are not allowed on channel 14 and only OFDM rates were
configured P2P. This issue showed up, e.g., when running hwsim test case
rfkill_autogo followed by ap_wps_conf_chan14.

It may be possible to allow the failed operation in cfg80211/mac80211,
but it looks better to work around this on wpa_supplicant side as well.
Try to unmask the 11b rates again on the next connection request if the
rate unmasking operation had failed.
