ath5k: update beacons in AP mode

ath5k only generated the beacon when bss_info_changed() was called,
but for AP mode this is not enough, because the TIM IE would never
get updated and consequently PS mode clients wouldn't know about
buffered frames.  Instead, get a new beacon on every SWBA interrupt.
