Check whether index is within bounds before testing the element.

(also includes "Libertas: Association request to the driver failed"

The size of the tmp buffer was too small, causing a regression

rates->rates has an arraysize of 1, so a memcpy with
MAX_RATES (14) was already causing reads out of bounds.

In get_common_rates() the memset/memcpy can be moved upwards. -- JWL)
