ath5k: use spin_lock_irqsave for beacon lock
upstream commit: b5f03956c56d72ad336e5c2c42a025f25d952c30 ath5k_reset can be called from process context, which in turn can call ath5k_beacon_config which takes the sc->block spinlock. Since it can also be taken in hard irq context, use spin_lock_irqsave everywhere. This fixes a potential deadlock in adhoc mode.
