P2P: Do not skip updating BSS table when frequency is changed

Browse source 
BSS table is not updated when a non-P2P station runs a scan without P2P
IE in Probe Response frame, since that would remove P2P IE information.
However, this results also in not updating mandatory rates in Supported
Rates and BSS Membership Selectors element even though AP/GO changes
frequency from 2.4 GHz to 5 GHz band.

This is causing connection failure since BSS table has 1 Mbps as
mandatory rate for AP connection but minimum supported rate in 5 GHz
band is 6 Mbps.

To avoid connection failures in such cases, don't skip updating BSS
table when the BSS frequency is changed. This covers the most important
case addressed in commit ff57398fca ("P2P: Do not drop P2P IEs from
BSS table on non-P2P scans") while still allowing other changes to be
taken into account if the GO were to actually change channels (or band,
which would be the most likely case needing the update).
