mac80211: don't split remain-on-channel for coalescing
Due to remain-on-channel scheduling delays, when we split an ROC
while coalescing, we'll usually get a picture like this:
existing ROC: |------------------|
current time: ^
new ROC: |------| |-------|
If the expected response frames are then transmitted by the peer
in the hole between the two fragments of the new ROC, we miss
them and the process (e.g. ANQP query) fails.
mac80211 expects that the window to miss something is small:
existing ROC: |------------------|
new ROC: |------||-------|
but that's normally not the case.
To avoid this problem, coalesce only if the new ROC's duration
is <= the remaining time on the existing one:
existing ROC: |------------------|
new ROC: |-----|
and never split a new one but schedule it afterwards instead:
existing ROC: |------------------|
new ROC: |-------------|
