mac80211: remove module handling from rate control ops
There's not a single rate control algorithm actually in a separate module where the module refcount would be required. Similarly, there's no specific rate control module. Therefore, all the module handling code in rate control is really just dead code, so remove it. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
