iwlwifi: fix scan race
commit bbcbb9ef9735c67da303d30bd6beb9e699f0f508 upstream. There is a problem if an "internal short scan" is in progress when a mac80211 requested scan arrives. If this new scan request arrives within the "next_scan_jiffies" period then driver will immediately return success and complete the scan. The problem here is that the scan has not been fully initialized at this time (is_internal_short_scan is still set to true because of the currently running scan), which results in the scan completion never to be sent to mac80211. At this time also, evan though the internal short scan is still running the state (is_internal_short_scan) will be set to false, so when the internal scan does complete then mac80211 will receive a scan completion. Fix this by checking right away if a scan is in progress when a scan request arrives from mac80211.
