mac80211: handle rate control (RC) racing with chanctx definition

chanctx represents the current phy configuration and rate scale uses
it for achieving max throughput, so if phy changes bandwidth to narrow
bandwidth, RC should be _first_ updated to avoid using the wider bandwidth
before updating the phy, and vice versa.

We assume in the patch that station interface is always updated before
updating phy context by calling ieee80211_vif_update_chandef.
