Thanks, that fixed the issue.

I have no issues with EBUSY being returned for a case where an
offchannel operation would be required while on a channel that require
constant monitoring for radars. I guess it would be fine to run a
single-channel scan on that same channel in such a state, but I'm not
sure whether this code prevents that or not. (Or whether there is really
that much of a real use case for such an operation.)
