mac80211: implement basic background scanning

Browse Source 
Introduce a new scan flag "SCAN_OFF_CHANNEL" which basically tells us
that we are currently on a different channel for scanning and cannot
RX/TX. "SCAN_SW_SCANNING" tells us that we are currently running a
software scan but we might as well be on the operating channel to RX/TX.
While "SCAN_SW_SCANNING" is set during the whole scan "SCAN_OFF_CHANNEL"
is set when leaving the operating channel and unset when coming back.

Introduce two new scan states "SCAN_LEAVE_OPER_CHANNEL" and
"SCAN_ENTER_OPER_CHANNEL" which basically implement the functionality we
need to leave the operating channel (send a nullfunc to the AP and stop
the queues) and enter it again (send a nullfunc to the AP and start the
queues again).

Enhance the scan state "SCAN_DECISION" to switch back to the operating
channel after each scanned channel. In the future it sould be simple
to enhance the decision state to scan as much channels in a row as the
qos latency allows us.
