iwlwifi: HT performance improvement changes 

During rate scaling, checking for 0 retry count before decrement
the count by 1, this can avoid the retry count to become 255 (0xff),
which will cause the rate to drop faster than what we expect during good
condition (receive 0 retry packet). also change the algorithm to make
the rate not drop faster than what we like.
