staging: rtl8723bs: fix inverted HT40 secondary channel offset

rtw_get_chan_type() maps the driver's channel offset to nl80211 channel
types the wrong way around.

In this driver HAL_PRIME_CHNL_OFFSET_LOWER means the primary channel is
the lower 20 MHz half of the 40 MHz pair, i.e. the secondary channel is
above the primary one: rtw_get_center_ch() computes the center channel
as "channel + 2" for OFFSET_LOWER, and bwmode_update_check() sets
OFFSET_LOWER when the AP's HT operation IE announces SCA (secondary
channel above). In nl80211 terms that is NL80211_CHAN_HT40PLUS, not
HT40MINUS.

Because of the inversion, cfg80211_rtw_get_channel() reports an HT40+
association as HT40-. For an HT40+ AP on a low channel (e.g. channel 3)
the resulting chandef spans below the 2.4 GHz band edge and is invalid,
so the regulatory core tears the connection down 60 seconds
(REG_ENFORCE_GRACE_MS) after the AP's country IE triggers a regdomain
change: reg_check_chans_work() considers the reported chandef unusable
and calls cfg80211_leave(). The supplicant then reconnects, the country
IE changes the regdomain again, and the cycle repeats, causing a
disconnect/reconnect loop every ~65 seconds for as long as the link is
up.

Observed on a TECLAST X80 Power tablet (RTL8723BS) associated to an
HT40+ AP on channel 3 with a KR country IE; a kprobe trace showed
cfg80211_disconnect() being invoked from reg_check_chans_work(). With
the mapping fixed, "iw dev wlan0 info" reports the correct
"width: 40 MHz, center1: 2432 MHz" and the periodic disconnects stop.
