ath5k: update channel in sw state after stopping RX and TX
This fixes a non-theoretical race condition when transmitting and
receiving frames during a scan. If the channel or operating band
changes while processing status descriptors in the tasklets, ath5k
will incorrectly use the new channel and band when reporting the
rates, even if the frame was actually sent on a previous channel.
Typically this will manifest as a beacon found on an incorrect
frequency and/or a warning in the driver while scanning:
