hostapd: prevent channel switch for 5GHz 

hostapd would switch the primary and secondary channel on 5GHz networks in
certain circumstances, completely breaking the adhoc interfaces of the WLAN
adapter (they would lose their configuration).

As a temporary fix, disable this channel switch function.
