From: Sujith Manoharan <Sujith.Manoharan@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Beacon transmission needs to involve as little latency
as possible after receiving a SWBA event from the target.
Since packets are buffered to use TX stream mode, beacon
frames sometimes gets queued up and are not sent out immediately.
Fix this by decoupling management frame transmission from the
normal data path and send them out immediately.
