iwlwifi: fix hidden ssid discovery in passive channels



This enables sending of direct probes on passive channels, as long as
traffic was detected on that channel. This enables connectivity to
hidden/non broadcasting SSIDs APs on passive channels. Note 5000 HW
declares all 5.2 spectrum as passive.
