Each time we receive a beacon we need to adjust the hardware
timers for next DTIM and next TBTT.

Before this commit, the Power Save behaviour was incorrect.
The scenario was:
- STA receives a beacon from AP with TIM unset;
- mac80211 layers puts the chip to sleep;
- chip is woken up by mac80211's software timer reponsible for
beacon miss after 7 * beacon_interval period.

Normally the chip should sleep at most DTIM period. This commit
configures hardware timers for waking up the chip correctly.

Changelog

v1:
* moved beacon configuration call in the ath9k_htc driver
