In multi-interface mode, beacons/probe responses that are
sent out must have their timestamp field updated. Calculate
the TSF adjustment value for each beaconing interface and set it
in the frame properly.

Beacon transmission is now handled through a slot mechanism.
This allows multiple beaconing interfaces to be be present.

AP mode beacon timers in ath9k are configured in milliseconds, which breaks
when increasing ATH_BCBUF to 8 instead of 4 (due to rounding errors).
Since the hardware timers are actually configured in microseconds, it's
better to let the driver use that unit directly.
To be able to do that, the beacon interval parameter abuse for passing
certain flags needs to be removed. This is easy to do, because those flags
are completely unnecessary anyway. ATH9K_BEACON_ENA is ignored,
ATH9K_BEACON_RESET_TSF can be replaced with calling ath9k_hw_reset_tsf
from the driver directly.

The AID and BSSID should be set in the HW only for the
first station interface or adhoc interface. Also, cancel
the ANI timer in stop() for multi-STA scenario. And finally
configure the HW beacon timers only for the first station
interface.

The target beacon transmission time has to be synced with the HW
TSF when configuring beacon timers in Adhoc mode. Failing to do this
would cause erroneous beacon transmission, for example, on completion
of a scan run to check for IBSS merges.

mac80211 stores the association state in ieee80211_bss_conf.
Use this and remove the local state, which is incorrect anyway
since it is stored globally and not on a per-VIF basis.
Restarting ANI and reconfiguration of HW beacon timers when a
scan run ends requires more work. This is handled by iterating
over the active interfaces.
Finally, remove the useless check for associated status in RX
processing.

The current way of managing beaconing in ad-hoc
mode has a subtle race - the beacon obtained from mac80211
is freed in the SWBA handler rather than the TX
completion routine. But transmission of beacons goes
through the normal SKB queue maintained in hif_usb,
leading to a situation where __skb_dequeue() in the TX
completion handler goes kaput.
Fix this by simply getting a beacon from mac80211 for
every SWBA and free it in its completion routine.
