Subject: [PATCH] hostapd: mtk: avoid unnecessary beacon update for 6 GHz
 co-location

There are two reasons to update beacon for 6 GHz co-location:
1. 6 GHz out-of-band discovery
2. MLD operational parameters update

BSS load update is unrelated with the above two reasons, and therefore is
not a case to update beacon for 6 GHz co-location.
Moreover, updating beacon for 6 GHz co-location when BSS load update
makes hostapd set beacon too frequently in a multiple BSSes case.

Besides, it is also not necessary to update beacon for 6 GHz BSS when
setting 2/5 GHz beacon. (i.e., no need for 2/5 GHz co-location)

This patch adds an new function to update beacon only for current BSS,
and uses the function duriong BSS load update.
Also it changes the condition check to make beacon update only for 6 GHz
co-location.
