Subject: [PATCH] staging: r8188eu: Fix while-loop that iterates only once

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

The while-loop only iterates once becase the post increment test of count
being non-zero is false on the first iteration because count is zero. Fix
this by incrementing count using pre-increment. Static analysis found the
issue on the count > POLLING_LLT_THRESHOLD check always being false since
the loop currently just iterates once.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Logically dead code")
