This already happens (scan.c):

523                 if (associated && ( !tx_empty || bad_latency ||
524                     listen_int_exceeded))
525                         local->next_scan_state = SCAN_ENTER_OPER_CHANNEL;
526                 else
527                         local->next_scan_state = SCAN_SET_CHANNEL;

When the currently scanned channel is finished and tx traffic arrived
mac80211 will switch back to the operating channel. However, this doesn't
immediately switch back but waits for the channel scan to be completed.
