P2P: Force p2p-send-action as the next radio work to execute

This increases the priority of the p2p-send-action radio work, i.e., the
radio work used for transmitting potentially offchannel P2P Action
frames by marking it as the next radio work to execute. This is to avoid
the delay in transmissions due to already queued offchannel radio work
items in the queue. In particular, this means not having to wait for a
pending p2p-scan radio work to be executed before the new P2P Action
frame can be transmitted. This helps in avoiding timeouts on the peer
device when a P2P Action frames is received during other activity on the
device.
