mac80211: calculate beacon loss time accurately 

Instead of using a fixed 2 second timeout, calculate beacon loss interval
from the advertised beacon interval and a frame count.  With this beacon
loss happens after N (default 7) consecutive frames are missed which
for a typical setup (100TU beacon interval) is ~700ms (or ~1/3 previous).
