mac80211: Optimize scans on current operating channel.
This should decrease un-necessary flushes, on/off channel work,
and channel changes in cases where the only scanned channel is
the current operating channel.
* Removes SCAN_OFF_CHANNEL flag, uses SDATA_STATE_OFFCHANNEL
and is-scanning flags instead.
* Add helper method to determine if we are currently configured
for the operating channel.
* Do no blindly go off/on channel in work.c Instead, only call
appropriate on/off code when we really need to change channels.
Always enable offchannel-ps mode when starting work,
and disable it when we are done.
* Consolidate ieee80211_offchannel_stop_station and
ieee80211_offchannel_stop_beaconing, call it
ieee80211_offchannel_stop_vifs instead.
* Accept non-beacon frames when scanning on operating channel.
* Scan state machine optimized to minimize on/off channel
transitions. Also, when going on-channel, go ahead and
re-enable beaconing. We're going to be there for 200ms,
so seems like some useful beaconing could happen.
Always enable offchannel-ps mode when starting software
scan, and disable it when we are done.
* Grab local->mtx earlier in __ieee80211_scan_completed_finish
so that we are protected when calling hw_config(), etc.
* Pass probe-responses up the stack if scanning on local
channel, so that mlme can take a look.
