mac80211: avoid processing non-S1G elements on S1G band

In ieee80211_determine_chantype(), the sband->ht_cap was being processed before S1G Operation element. Since the HT capability element should not be present on the S1G band, avoid processing potential garbage by moving the call to ieee80211_apply_htcap_overrides() to after the S1G block. Also, in case of a missing S1G Operation element, we would continue trying to process non-S1G elements (and return with a channel width of 20MHz). Instead, just assume primary channel is equal to operating and infer the operating width from the BSS channel, then return.
