4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit c73f8c00330f59ce9b1ace9ff698aca83390d358 ]

Doing a channel switch via hostapd_cli seems to update
the new channel context for each VAP's appropriately as below
in 'ath10k_mac_update_vif_chan', hence we can safely suppress the
warning that shows up during this operation and dump the warning only
if no vaps are available for channel switch

hostapd_cli -i wlan0 chan_switch 5 5200
OK

ath10k_pci : mac chanctx switch n_vifs 3 mode 1
ath10k_pci : mac chanctx switch vdev_id 2 freq 5180->5200 width 0->0
ath10k_pci : mac chanctx switch vdev_id 1 freq 5180->5200 width 0->0
ath10k_pci : mac chanctx switch vdev_id 0 freq 5180->5200 width 0->0
