Adds proper locking for the function, b43_op_beacon_set_tim in main.c that internally calls b43_update_templates.
Due to the function that is being called internally,b43_update_templates needing the mutex lock of the structure
pointer wl passed it to run successfully and without issues we add the calls to mutex_lock before and mutex_unlock
after it's call internally in b43_op_beacon_set_tim in order to allow the function,,b43_update_templates to run
successfully and without issues related to concurrent access.

Nicolas,
You must be an idiot for resubmitting this patch after Michael Busch clearly
told you that this patch can *never* work as we are in atomic context here! If
you are looking for patch credits, submitting one that messes with locking *that
you have never tested* will certainly get you notoriety on the Internet, but I
doubt that you want that bad a reputation!!
NACK.
Larry
