This regression was introduced in "mac80211: cache mesh
beacon".
mesh_sync_offset_adjust_tbtt() was assuming that the
beacon would be rebuilt in every single pre-tbtt
interrupt, but now the beacon update happens on the
workqueue, and it must be ready for immediate delivery to
the driver.
Save a pointer to the meshconf IE in the beacon_data (this
works because both the IE pointer and beacon buffer are
protected by the same rcu_{dereference,assign_pointer}())
for quick updates during pre-tbtt. This is faster and a
little prettier than iterating over the elements to find
the meshconf IE every time.
