rtl8187b: do not do per packet TX AGC

Browse source 
Clearing the per packet TX AGC for the RTL8187B device appears to
increase its overall TX power. This allows the device to associate and a
connection to be established using APs a little further away.

This is in accordance to what is done for RTL8187L devices and also what
Realtek drivers do.
