Grabbing an ath5k_buf then dropping the lock is racy because the
referenced descriptor can be obtained in another thread and released
before the buffer is handed to the hardware. Likewise, manipulating
sc->rxlink without the lock can lead to having multiple self-linked
hardware descriptors.

This patch simplifies the code used to detect when the
self-linked DMA buffer is still in use by hardware, by
checking the hardware's rxdp register instead of looking
at the software buffer list.

For embedded platforms, beacon transmission can be starved when
flooded with data packets. Prioritize beacons by giving the beacon
queue the first shot when the isr completes.
