wifi: cfg80211: add option for vif allowed radios
This allows users to prevent a vif from affecting radios other than the
configured ones. This can be useful in cases where e.g. an AP is running
on one radio, and triggering a scan on another radio should not disturb it.
Changing the allowed radios list for a vif is supported, but only while
it is down.
While it is possible to achieve the same by always explicitly specifying
a frequency list for scan requests and ensuring that the wrong channel/band
is never accidentally set on an unrelated interface, this change makes
multi-radio wiphy setups a lot easier to deal with for CLI users.
By itself, this patch only enforces the radio mask for scanning requests
and remain-on-channel. Follow-up changes build on this to limit configured
frequencies.
