nl80211: Don't force VHT channel definition with HE

HE (802.11ax) is also supported on 2.4 GHz. And the 2.4 GHz band isn't
supposed to use VHT operations. Some codepaths in wpa_supplicant will
therefore not initialize the freq->bandwidth or the freq->center_freq1/2
members. As a result, the nl80211_put_freq_params() will directly return
an error (-1) or the kernel will return an error due to the invalid
channel definition.

Instead, the channel definitions should be created based on the actual
HT/VHT/none information on 2.4 GHz.
