cfg80211: remove NL80211_FEATURE_P2P_DEVICE_NEEDS_CHANNEL
There's no driver using this flag and consequently no userspace application is actually looking at it. As it seems unlikely for any driver to start using it, remove it and the (very little) code that used it. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
