net/sched: netem: fix probability gaps in 4-state loss model

The 4-state Markov chain in loss_4state() has gaps at the boundaries
between transition probability ranges. The comparisons use:

  if (rnd < a4)
  else if (a4 < rnd && rnd < a1 + a4)

When rnd equals a boundary value exactly, neither branch matches and
no state transition occurs. The redundant lower-bound check (a4 < rnd)
is already implied by being in the else branch.

Remove the unnecessary lower-bound comparisons so the ranges are
contiguous and every random value produces a transition, matching
the GI (General and Intuitive) loss model specification.

This bug goes back to original implementation of this model.
