[PATCH, take 2] libertas: reduce command retry time
In the normal case, an unsuccessful command would be retried for 10*5 seconds,
or 10*10 seconds in the worst case. This patch reduces this to 3*3 seconds,
or 3*10 seconds in the worst case.
I also reduced the time it takes to start a new command downloaded.

With this patch, I don't have a command retry kernel log anymore in my
devices, even after running for hours and calling "iwconfig" every
1.5 seconds while constantly sending out VNC updates. I bumped up the
times from my last mail.
It reduces loooooong delays if a command get's retried and you issue
"pccardctl eject" at the same time. This command unfortunately doesn't
set priv->surpriseremoved, which would speed up things tremendously.
