[PATCH] Wait longer for inactive client probe (empty data frame)

Some devices cannot respond to inactive client probe (empty data frame)
within one second. For example, iPhone may take up to 3 secs. This
becomes a significant problem when ap_max_inactivity is set to lower
value such as 10 secs. iPhone can loose Wi-Fi connection after ~1 min
of user inactivity.
