[PATCH] ieee80211: Don't update network statistics from off-channel packets.

This patch fixes a problem in the ieee80211 probe response and beacon
reception code that would use the packet statistics for a network even
if they were received on a channel other than that which the network
exists on.

This causes a problem in overlapping channels where, for example, a
strong AP on channel 2 could have its beacons received on channels 1 and
3, but at much lower signal levels.  If scanning was done sequentially,
this means the beacon received on channel 3 would update the AP's signal
level as being much lower than it really is, which subsequently could
cause that AP to be passed over and an alternate AP selected.
