mac80211: fix on-channel remain-on-channel
Jouni reported that if a remain-on-channel was active on the same channel as the current operating channel, then the ROC would start, but any frames transmitted using mgmt-tx on the same channel would get delayed until after the ROC. The reason for this is that the ROC starts, but doesn't have any handling for "remain on the same channel", so it stops the interface queues. The later mgmt-tx then puts the frame on the interface queues (since it's on the current operating channel) and thus they get delayed until after the ROC. To fix this, add some logic to handle remaining on the same channel specially and not stop the queues etc. in this case. This not only fixes the bug but also improves behaviour in this case as data frames etc. can continue to flow.
