rt2x00: Fix for race condition while update beacon
The patch "Implement set_tim callback for all drivers" can cause kernel oops in rt73usb_write_beacon. The oops is caused by one of the following race conditions: * In case of two near calls to set_tim: rt2x00lib_beacondone_iter is cleaning the beacon skb, whereas rt73usb_write_beacon is still using it. * In case of two near updates of beacon: first as the result of set_tim and second as the result of a call from an application (e.g. hostapd). This patch fixes the race condition by rearranging the update logic and guarding rt2x00_intf->beacon->skb with a mutex.
