Subject: [PATCH] Fix null reduction formula

Depth is already dependent on the actual value
of ONE_PLY, in particular can be expressed like:

Depth = n * ONE_PLY

And because formula is used to calculate R that is
also dependent on the value of ONE_PLY and can be
expressed like:

R = x * ONE_PLY

We don't want to divide depth by a 'ply' value but
directly by an integer number.

No functional change.
