[PATCH 1/2] mac80211: Make beacon-loss-count configurable.

[greearb@candelatech.com]

From: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com>

On loaded systems with lots of VIFs, I see lots of beacon
timeouts, even though the connection to the AP is very
good.  Allow tuning the beacon-loss-count variable to
give the system longer to process beacons if the user
prefers.
