[ Upstream commit 115865fa0826ed18ca04717cf72d0fe874c0fe7f ]

In my previous patch, I missed that rate_control_rate_init() is called from some places that cannot sleep, so it cannot call ieee80211_recalc_min_chandef(). Remove that call for now to fix the context bug, we'll have to find a different way to fix the minimum channel width issue.
