    wifi: mac80211: recalc chanctx mindef before assigning
    
    [ Upstream commit 04312de4ced4b152749614e8179f3978a20a992f ]
    
    When we allocate a new channel context, or find an existing one
    that is compatible, we currently assign it to a link before its
    mindef is updated. This leads to strange situations, especially
    in link switching where you switch to an 80 MHz link and expect
    it to be active immediately, but the mindef is still configured
    to 20 MHz while assigning.  Also, it's strange that the chandef
    passed to the assign method's argument is wider than the one in
    the context.
    
    Fix this by calculating the mindef with the new link considered
    before calling the driver.
    
    In particular, this fixes an iwlwifi problem during link switch
    where the firmware would assert because the (link) station that
    was added for the AP is configured to transmit at a bandwidth
    that's wider than the channel context that it's configured on.
