ath10k: fix beacon deadlock

This should fix a very rare occurrence of the following deadlock:

  [<ffffffffa018265e>] ath10k_wmi_tx_beacons_nowait+0x1e/0x50 [ath10k_core]

  [<ffffffff81055a55>] tasklet_action+0xc5/0x100

To prevent this make sure to release ar->data_lock
while calling to ath10k_wmi_beacon_send_ref_nowait().
