Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ath9k: avoid enabling interrupts while processing rx

The assumsion is that while processing ath9k tasklet,
interrupts were already disabled and it will be enabled
at the completion of ath9k tasklet. But whenever TSFOOR is raised,
the driver configures the beacon timers after having received a
beacon frame from the AP which inturn enables the interrupts.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ath9k: process TSF out of range before RX

Processing TSF out of range before RX helps to update beacon
timers so early in the succeeding rx process.
