iwlwifi: mvm: add a channel_switch op to bypass mac80211 timer
We need to call ieee80211_chswitch_done() ourselves just when the absence TE started, so we perform the actual context switch early enough. To do so, add a dummy channel_switch op, which will cause mac80211 to skip the countdown timer and allow us to call ieee80211_chswitch_done() to complete the operation.
