We have test code in cfg80211 that using preset_chandef when compare
chandefs when csa.
And after that I see we never change preset_chandef after csa.

>From other side, I could imagine case where we have two VAPs in hostapd.
- first we start first VAPs (eg. channel 36 HT40+)
- next we call CSA (channel 44 HT40+)
- now we start second VAPs - we will get err here because of
preset_chandef (36 HT40+)
