ath10k: improve channel switching
In some cases during heavy tx vdev stop-start would timeout on vdev synchronization causing traffic to stall for a few seconds. Instead of stop-starting use a dedicated vdev restart command and down vdevs explicitly before doing so. This gets rid of the synchronization warnings/timeouts and makes channel switching smoother during traffic.
