[RFC 2/3] hostapd: Make chan_switch per-iface not per-bss

Submit CSA request for each BSS that is related to the current
interface.

It doesn't make much sense to allow hostapd to perform a real per-BSS
switch beacuse the control frequency is shared among BSSes. Even if
hardware would be capable of performing the switch it would break
hostapd.
