[PATCH] hostapd: enter DFS state if no available channel is found

[David Bauer]

Previously hostapd would not stop transmitting when a DFS event was
detected and no available channel to switch to was available.

Disable and re-enable the interface to enter DFS state. This way, TX
does not happen until the kernel notifies hostapd about the NOP
expiring.
