nl80211: Always return NL_SKIP from survey dump handler

Browse source 
Previously, NL_STOP was returned from the survey dump handler if the
maximum number of frequencies was reached for storing survey
information, but this is causing wpa_supplicant context getting stuck if
the current SKB returned by the kernel itself ends with NLMSG_DONE type
message. This is due to libnl immediately stopping processing the
current SKB upon receiving NL_STOP and not being able to process
NLMSG_DONE type message, and due to this wpa_supplicant's
finish_handler() not getting called. Fix this by returning NL_SKIP
instead while still ignoring all possible additional frequencies.
