ath5k/ath9k: Fix 64 bits TSF reads

According to tests, both TSF lower and upper registers kept counting, so
the higher part could have been updated after the lower part has been
read, as shown in the following log where the upper part is read first
and the lower part next.

tsf = {00000003-fffffffd}
tsf = {00000003-00000001}
tsf = {00000004-0000000b}

This patch corrects this by checking that the upper part has not been
changed while the lower part was read. It has been tested in an IBSS
network where artifical IBSS merges have been done in order to trigger
hundreds of rollover for the TSF lower part.

It follows the logic mentionned by Derek, with only 2 register reads
needed at each additional steps instead of 3 (the minimum number of
register reads is still 3).
