ath9k: Optimize TBTT/DTIM calculation for timers
The previous version used a simple loop to go through all Beacon frames when determining the next TBTT and DTIM count. This is not too bad for the case where the setup happens before timesync (i.e., very small TSF), but this can become very heavy operation if a short Beacon interval is used and the current TSF is large. In preparation for a patch to update timer setup based on Beacon timestamp, optimize this routine to take fixed time regardless of the actual TSF value.
