As it turns out there actually is a tiny race window that could result in a use-after-free bug of the 'current_beacon' memory. Nobody ever reported this, so it probably never happened. Fix this by adding a spin lock that protects the current_beacon access. We must not be in atomic context while accessing hardware (due to SDIO), so the beacon update bottom half has to clone the skb and release the lock before writing it to hardware. Let's all hope that this stops the troll who is trying to submit incorrect fixes for this issue repeatedly. And let's hope that I'm not a troll, too, who just hides even more evil code in an even more complex attempt to fix the issue.
