nl80211: Don't set offchan-OK flag if doing on-channel frame in AP mode

Browse source 
I saw a case where the kernel's cfg80211 rejected hostapd's attempt to
send a neighbor report response because nl80211 flagged the frame as
offchannel-OK, but kernel rejects because channel was 100 (DFS) and so
kernel failed thinking it was constrained by DFS/CAC requirements that
do not allow the operating channel to be left (at least in FCC).

Don't set the packet as off-channel OK if we are transmitting on the
current operating channel of an AP to avoid such issues with
transmission of Action frames.
