Daniel Halperin 8fddddff0a mac80211: fix contention time computation in minstrel, minstrel_ht
When transmitting a frame, the transmitter waits a random number of
slots between 0 and cw. Thus, the contention time is (cw / 2) * t_slot
which we can represent instead as (cw * t_slot) >> 1. Also fix a few
other accounting bugs around contention time, and add comments.
