That i needs to be unsigned int (like it was in the function from which
it was moved to here) to avoid a compiler warning.

This looks quite strange.. hostapd_dfs_start_channel_switch() used
current_vht_oper_chwidth to store the current value from beginning of
the function and restored it at this location. The new version in this
helper function seems to something strange, or well, nothing. That does
not feel correct.

That's where i was unsigned..

And that's where the current value is picked at the beginning of
hostapd_dfs_start_channel_switch().

And this looks quite different compared to what was in the new helper
function.
