iwlagn: split remain-on-channel
If we're associated and want to do P2P at the same time, the scan for remain-on-channel is currently limited to 80ms because of the way the device will behave in that case. Instead of doing that, split up the dwell times into little pieces. It will not actually be a single big dwell time then, but will be close enough. This improves robustness of P2P in such scenarios.
