mac80211: Fix handling of retry count of NO_ACK frames in minstrel

Browse Source 
Make the retry count zero (total try count = 1) for frames with
IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_ACK set.

Also remove the check for is_multicast_ether_addr in use_low_rate,
which is redundant because all multicasts have IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_ACK
set.
