[PATCH] mac80211: run scan after finish connection monitoring

[Stanislaw Gruszka]

commit 133d40f9a22bdfd2617a446f1e3209537c5415ec
Author: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.com>

    mac80211: do not scan and monitor connection in parallel

add bug, which make possible to start a scan and never finish it, so
make every new scanning request finish with -EBUSY error. This can
happen on code paths where we finish connection monitoring and clear
IEEE80211_STA_*_POLL flags, but do not check if scan was deferred.
This patch fixes those code paths.

This patch fix commit, which went to Linus (3.5-rc) kernel, so should be
applied there as well.
