f4a8cd94fc minstrel: improve performance for non-MRR drivers
This patch enhances minstrel's performance for non-MRR setups,
by preventing it from sampling slower rates with >95% success
probability and by putting at least 1 non-sample frame between
several sample frames.

e6a9854b05 mac80211/drivers: rewrite the rate control API
So after the previous changes we were still unhappy with how
convoluted the API is and decided to make things simpler for
everybody. This completely changes the rate control API, now
taking into account 802.11n with MCS rates and more control,
most drivers don't support that though.
