[PATCH 3.2 016/125] mac80211: fix IBSS join by initializing last_scan_completed

From: Krzysztof Hałasa <khalasa@piap.pl>

commit c7d37a66e345df2fdf1aa7b2c9a6d3d53846ca5b upstream.

Without this fix, freshly rebooted Linux creates a new IBSS
instead of joining an existing one. Only when jiffies counter
overflows after 5 minutes the IBSS can be successfully joined.
