wifi: rtlwifi: rtl8821ae: Fix media status report



commit 66ef0289 upstream.

RTL8821AE is stuck transmitting at the lowest rate allowed by the rate
mask. This is because the firmware doesn't know the device is connected
to a network.

Fix the macros SET_H2CCMD_MSRRPT_PARM_OPMODE and
SET_H2CCMD_MSRRPT_PARM_MACID_IND to work on the first byte of __cmd,
not the second. Now the firmware is correctly notified when the device
is connected to a network and it activates the rate control.
