[PATCH 4.5 089/124] mac80211: fix ibss scan parameters

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

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

From: Sara Sharon <sara.sharon@xxxxxxxxx>

commit d321cd014e51baab475efbdec468255b9e0ec822 upstream.

When joining IBSS a full scan should be initiated in order to search
for existing cell, unless the fixed_channel parameter was set.
A default channel to create the IBSS on if no cell was found is
provided as well.
However - a scan is initiated only on the default channel provided
regardless of whether ifibss->fixed_channel is set or not, with the
obvious result of the cell not joining existing IBSS cell that is
on another channel.
