Make PID check for IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_ACK instead of
is_multicast_ether_addr when determining whether to use the lowest
rate, and set the retry count to 0 (total try count = 1) if
IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_ACK is set.

v2: I accidentally inlined the minstrel patch. The attachment is
identical to v1.
Patch also available as an attachment if Gmail linewraps it.
