wifi: nl80211: allow a NAN peer schedule with 2 channels in the same slot

Browse source

A NAN peer that has dual radio can schedule a slot to 2 different
channels.
Until now, for single radio devices, we disallowed such a peer schedule.
This was done so because the assumption was that the user space needs to
pick one of the channels for us, according to its logic.

But for devices that have their ULW logic offloaded, it can be useful if we
program it with the full information and let it decide what to do.
For example:
- peer has slot S scheduled to C1 and C2
- local schedule has S scheduled to C1
- in practice, the device is on C2 at S, for example due to non-NAN
  activity

In that case, this extra information can actually be useful to the
device, and bring to more efficient usage of the time.

Allow a peer schedule that has a single slot scheduled to two different
channels.
