[PATCH 3.13.y-ckt 013/138] mac80211: start_next_roc only if scan was actually running

3.13.11-ckt36 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Eliad Peller <eliad@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit a2b70e833e189a4aefb2d3b668e3d7046dcc45c2 upstream.

On scan completion we try start any pending roc.

However, if scan was just pending (and not actually started)
there is no point in trying to start the roc, as it might
have started already.

This solves the following warning:
