[PATCH] wext: fix maxrate calculation

When scan results got moved from wpa_scan_result -> wpa_scan_res, the
'maxrate' member was dropped from wpa_scan_res. The D-Bus interface
used 'maxrate', which was replaced with wpa_scan_get_max_rate().
Unfortunately, wpa_scan_get_max_rate() returns 802.11 rate values
directly from the IE, where 'maxrate' was the rate in bits/second. The
supplicant internally fakes an IE for wpa_scan_res from the value of
wpa_scan_result->maxrate, but interprets ->maxrate as an 802.11 rate
index.
As a side-effect, this fixes a soft-break of the D-Bus control API since
the wpa_scan_res change was introduced.
