ath9k_htc: Fix beaconing in IBSS mode
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. Signed-off-by: Sujith <Sujith.Manoharan@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
