Added checking of status of scanning to ieee80211_scan_work when hw
scanning is used. It is possible to scan_work get executed while scan
has already been started. Previously this has led to a state where, when
the driver returned EBUSY, the stack aborted scan while hw was left
scanning. That has caused warnings from ieee80211_scan_completed when
the scan actually has been completed.

So Luis says he can make something similar happen with SW scan, where we
call drv_sw_scan_start twice?

Right, see the mac80211_hswim patch, it is possible.
