When userspace sets supported rates for a new station via
NL80211_CMD_NEW_STATION, it might send a list that's empty
or contains only invalid values. Currently, we process these
values in sta_link_apply_parameters() without checking the result of
ieee80211_parse_bitrates(), which can lead to an empty rates bitmap.

A similar issue was addressed for NL80211_CMD_SET_BSS in commit
ce04abc3fcc6 ("wifi: mac80211: check basic rates validity").
This patch applies the same approach in sta_link_apply_parameters()
for NL80211_CMD_NEW_STATION, ensuring there is at least one valid
rate by inspecting the result of ieee80211_parse_bitrates().

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.

Fixes: b95eb7f0eee4 ("wifi: cfg80211/mac80211: separate link params from station params")
Signed-off-by: Mikhail Lobanov <m.lobanov@rosa.ru>

v2: Fixed the patch subject to provide a complete description.
v3: added the missing if as Christophe Jaillet (christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr) noticed.

Seems you could remove the braces, and put it all into a single if
statement?

 if (... && ... && !parse(...))
     return -EINVAL;

I think?
