ath9k: cleanup try count for MRR in rate control

Browse source 
This has no functional change and just cleans up the code
to be more legible and removes a useless variable for
Multi Rate Retry.

For regular frames we use 2 retries for MRR segments [0-2].
For the last MRR segment [3] we use 4.

MRR[0] = 2
MRR[1] = 2
MRR[2] = 2
MRR[3] = 4
