[RESEND/PATCH v2] mac80211: add assoc beacon timeout logic

[Felipe Contreras]

We don't want to be waiting forever for a beacon that will never come,
just continue the association.

This is exactly the same as the previous patch.

All the reasons given to not apply this patch have been dismissed. Power saving
is disabled as expected, regulatory/radar doesn't apply to the station mode, we
already connect if there are no APs for other drivers.

Therefore there's no reason standing to not apply the patch.
