wifi: nl80211: defer AP beacon regulatory check to start_ap

Browse source

Defer the cfg80211_reg_can_beacon_relax() check
from __nl80211_set_channel() for AP and P2P-GO.

At __nl80211_set_channel() stage AP type is not fully known
before start_ap, so this early check incorrectly rejects valid
VLP AP bring-up. start_ap has the required AP context and already
performs the regulatory validation, so start checking after start_ap.

This way, VLP APs can be brought up. Also handle the CSA scenario by
running regulatory beaconing validation during channel switch and
preserving/updating AP reg_power across CSA completion.
