An AP/GO may perform the channel switch slightly before its stations.
This scenario may result in packet loss, since the transmission may start
before the client is actually on a new channel. In order to prevent
potential packet loss disable tx to all the stations when the channel
switch flow starts. Clear the disable_tx bit when a station is seen on a
target channel, or after IWL_MVM_CS_UNBLOCK_TX_TIMEOUT beacons on a new
channel. In addition call ieee80211_sta_block_awake in order to inform
mac80211 that the frames for this station should be buffered.
