cfg80211: disallow setting channel on WDS interfaces
If it worked (Felix says it doesn't right now), the typical use-case for WDS interfaces would be to be slaved to AP mode interfaces. Therefore, it isn't necessary to set the channel on WDS interfaces. As they don't support powersave or anything like that, they also couldn't use a different channel anyway.
