As long as there is still enough time for the scan to be completed
before deciding to create a new IBSS. I don't remember how that code
worked, so I don't know whether 5 second as the IBSS timeout will
guarantee this for every case. If there are any problems in providing
such guarantee, I have nothing against increasing the wpa_supplicant
timeout for IBSS. I might do that anyway since there is not really much
point in timing out IBSS join/create in most cases.
