[PATCH-mac8011] mac80211: fix ignored channel parameter

Commit Message

my earlier patch "mac80211: change IBSS channel state to chandef"
created a regression by ignoring the channel parameter in
__ieee80211_sta_join_ibss, which breaks IBSS channel selection. This
patch fixes this situation by using the right channel and adopting the
selected bandwidth mode.

This version is based on mac80211.git for fixes, and the bandwidth
handling was changed in ieee80211_sta_join_ibss to more readable.
