mac80211: minstrel: avoid accessing negative indices in rix_to_ndx()

If rix is not found in mi->r[], i will become -1 after the loop.  This value
is eventually used to access arrays, so we were accessing arrays with a
negative index, which is obviously not what we want to do.  This patch fixes
this potential problem.
