5.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit 16ee3ea8faef8ff042acc15867a6c458c573de61 upstream.
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().
