ath9k: Use correct channel for RX packets
Accessing the current channel definition in mac80211 when processing RX packets is problematic because it could have been updated when a scan is issued. Since a channel change involves flushing the existing packets in the RX queue before a chip-reset is done, they would be processed using the wrong band/channel information. To avoid this, use the current channel information maintained in the driver.
