[BUGFIX] wifi: mac80211: keep mac80211 consistent on link activation failure
In the unlikely event that link_use_channel fails while activating a
link, mac80211 would go into a bad state. Unfortunately, we cannot
completely avoid failures from drivers in this case.
However, what we can do is to just continue internally anyway and assume
the driver is going to trigger a recovery flow from its side. Doing that
means that we at least have a consistent state in mac80211 allowing such
a recovery flow to succeed.
