In mesh mode there is a race between establishing links and processing rates
and capabilities in beacons. This is very noticeable with slow beacons (e.g.
beacon intervals of 1s) and manifested for us as stations using minstrel when
minstrel_ht should be used. Fixed by changing mesh_sta_info_init so that it
always checks rates and such if it has not already done so.
