mac80211: Do not disconnect on invalid operating class
Some APs include a non global operating class in their extended channel switch information element. In such a case, as the operating class is not known, mac80211 would decide to disconnect. However the specification states that the operating class needs to be taken from Annex E, but it does not specify from which table it should be taken, so it is valid for an AP to use a non global operating class. To avoid possibly unneeded disconnection, in such a case ignore the operating class and assume that the current band is used, and if the resulting channel and band configuration is invalid disconnect.
