mac80211: minstrel_ht: improve sample rate selection

Always allow sampling of rates faster than the primary max throughput rate.
When the second max_tp_rate is higher than the first one, sample attempts were
previously skipped, potentially causing rate control to get stuck at a slightly
lower rate
