cfg80211: validate scan channels
Currently it is possible to request a scan on only
disabled channels, which could be problematic for
some drivers. Reject such scans, and also ignore
disabled channels that are given. This resuls in
the scan begin/end event only including channels
that are actually used.
This makes the mac80211 check for disabled channels
superfluous. At the same time, remove the no-IBSS
check from mac80211 -- nothing says that we should
not find any networks on channels that cannot be
used for an IBSS, even when operating in IBSS mode.
