[PATCH 05/74] mac80211: fix ibss scanning

[Herton Ronaldo Krzesinski]

3.5.7.4 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 34bcf71502413f8903ade93746f2d0f04b937a78 upstream.

Do not scan on no-IBSS and disabled channels in IBSS mode. Doing this
can trigger Microcode errors on iwlwifi and iwlegacy drivers.

Also rename ieee80211_request_internal_scan() function since it is only
used in IBSS mode and simplify calling it from ieee80211_sta_find_ibss().

This patch should address:
