For WCN7850, firmware do not expect vdev down for station vdev type here.

And this patch only take effect when arvif->is_up is not set,

it is hard to happen that for MCC station mode.

Because this function is entered for channel switch for MCC station mode,

it means station is connected to the AP, then arvif->is_up is set, then 
this patch not take effect.
