Checking for carrier state during start_radar_detection is needed

This patch adds one more condition while checking for carrier state
to see if offchanel CAC is supported, else we need not check carrier
state.

I think this should be an nl80211 feature flag, so that userspace can
also know whether or not this is supported.
However, we've run out of nl80211 feature flags. Arend is working on
adding more, see here:
http://mid.gmane.org/1418935344-22159-1-git-send-email-arend@xxxxxxxxxxxx
(ignore the 4-way-HS offload bit he's defining)
I'm not sure how to proceed here - in a sense your feature flag is far
less controversial and work-intensive than Arend's (who needs a lot more
than just that patch) so I guess you could pick up his patch, but I
expect him to also have fixed already. He's probably also on vacation
for about the same time though...
Not on vacation just yet. I indeed reworked the patch, but I was waiting
for wpa_supplicant patches so I can verify it works with brcmfmac. I can
submit the reworked feature flag patch with empty enum if that would work.
Regards,
Arend
