I thought these three synchronous works, so I have this suggestion, but actually
update_beacon_work is asynchronous. Then, we can start/stop tx_beacon into a
branch.

	if (changed & BSS_CHANGED_BEACON_ENABLED) {
		if (bss_conf->enable_beacon)
			rtl8xxxu_start_tx_beacon(priv);
		else
			rtl8xxxu_stop_tx_beacon(priv);
	}

	if (changed & BSS_CHANGED_BEACON)
		schedule_work(&priv->update_beacon_work);
