iwlwifi: configure missed beacon threshold
Add support to configure missed beacon threshold, by default, if receive
"missed beacon" notification from uCode and has more than 5 consecutive
beacon missed, then perform sensitivity calibration; with this change,
allow user to adjust the missed beacon threshold from debugfs in case
more sensitivity calibration required for better performance in noisy
environment
The default value (=5) should be good enough for the normal condition,
but for very noisy environment, more sensitivity calibration could help
improve the throughput, so by setting the missed beacon threshold to
lower number, user might experience better performance result.
