nl80211: sanity check the channel switch counter value
The nl80211 channel switch count attribute (NL80211_ATTR_CH_SWITCH_COUNT) is specified as u32, but the specification uses u8 for the counter. To make sure strange things don't happen without informing the user, sanity check the value and return -EINVAL if it doesn't fit in u8.
