[PATCH 3/7] wifi: mt76: mt7925: guard HE 6 GHz capa lookup by HE iftype caps

From: Sean Wang <sean.wang at mediatek.com>

ieee80211_get_he_6ghz_capa() WARNs if the iftype has no sband iftype_data
or lacks HE. Probe HE support first with ieee80211_get_he_iftype_cap()
and only then query the 6 GHz capa. And initialize he_6ghz_capa/eht_cap
to avoid uninitialized use.
