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. Signed-off-by: Daniel Halperin <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <[email protected]>
