cfg80211: fully initialize old channel for event
Paul reported that he got a report about undefined behaviour that seems to me to originate in using uninitialized memory when the channel structure here is used in the event code in nl80211 later. He never reported whether this fixed it, and I wasn't able to trigger this so far, but we should do the right thing and fully initialize the on-stack structure anyway.
