We need to ensure that the operational channel is scanned, because if the
AP deauthenticates us for whatever reason, subsequent scans will not work.
This fixes an issue I'm seeing on wcn3680 where my AP de-authenticates my
device but on a subsequent scan of available channels the channel we were
initially connected to fails to show up. In this case I either need to
shift the AP to another channel or reboot the device.
Ensuring the operational channel is scanned means we can never get into
that situation.
