This patch removes a mt76_wr_copy call from the beacon path to hw.
The skb which is used in this place gets therefore build with txwi
inside its data. For mt76 usb drivers, this saves one synchronuous
copy call over usb, which lets the beacon work complete faster.

This require enough skb headroom for txwi . Mac80211 reserve headroom
for us according to hw->extra_tx_headroom . Currently we ask for extra
space for txwi only for usb in mt76x02_init_device().

So this code should be put under mt76_is_usb() condition or,
what I think is less preferred, reserve extra space also for mmio.
