ath5k: disable beacon interrupt when interface is down
When we remove the active interface, there's no need to continue
sending beacons; doing so would cause a null pointer deref in
ieee80211_beacon_get(). Disable the interrupt in remove_interface
and add a WARN_ON(!vif) in case there are other instances lurking.
