mac80211: safely free beacon in ieee80211_if_reinit

If ieee80211_if_reinit() is called from ieee80211_unregister_hw()
then it is possible that the driver will still request a beacon
(it is allowed to until ieee80211_unregister_hw() has returned.)
This means we need to use an RCU-protected write to the beacon
information even in this function.
