[PATCH] mac80211: Export duration calculation function

[Michael Buesch]

This exports a frame duration calculation library function
to allow drivers easy calculation of the duration field
for some generic frame.

This is needed for drivers like bcm43xx, where we must precalculate
possible duration fields in software (for fallback rates, etc..).
