madwifi: put an upper limit on the amount of sampling that minstrel should do when
the link changes its status from very good to slightly bad. the previous version of the patch could have resulted in erratic rate control behavior when there was a lot of sampling backlog. git-svn-id: svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk@10921 3c298f89-4303-0410-b956-a3cf2f4a3e73
