Problem solved. I looked in the driver_nl80211.c and found that use_monitor relied on "poll_command_supported" and "data_tx_status". I printed these 2 parameters and saw that data_tx_status=0, it depends on NL80211_FEATURE_SK_TX_STATUS and this parameter was affected to the flags of wiphy->features, defined in /net/mac80211/main.c.I find this parameter was set = 0 in /backport-include/linux/nl80211.h
That's why montior mode was forced to used with AP mode. I set that parameter = 1 and no more monitor interface in AP mode, my AP work in DFS mode now.
I'll write a mail to backport mail list to ask them why do they set that parameter=0. 

I get another question: There a conflict of information about HT40+ and HT40- in hostapd and ht40allow_map (fromdebugfs). 
In the hostapd.conf example file:
#      Note: There are limits on which channels can be used with HT40- and
#	HT40+. Following table shows the channels that may be available for
#	HT40- and HT40+ use per IEEE 802.11n Annex J:
#	freq		HT40-		HT40+
#	5 GHz	40,48,56,64	36,44,52,60   
It means the channel 48 is not available in HT40+. But the info from ht40allow_map said that channel 5240 Mhz (ie 48) is available in both 40+ and 40-.
If I set ht-capab=[HT40+] and channel=48, hostapd can not setup AP mode.
And the channel 140 can not be set neither in bandwidth 40+ nor 40- even my "iw list' show that channel 140 is available. 
Is there a problem with ht40allow_map?
