Subject: [PATCH] cfg80211: Fix build error on i386 for net/wireless/scan.o

With i386 architecture, building the kernel v2.6.31-rc8-34797-g4910edb
fails with the following error:

CC [M] net/wireless/scan.o
net/wireless/scan.c: In function ‘cfg80211_inform_bss’:
net/wireless/scan.c:499: error: implicit declaration of function ‘kmemleak_ignore’
make[2]: *** [net/wireless/scan.o] Error 1

On x86_64, the build succeeds. Fix by including the appropriate header.

I've asked John to revert the use of kmemleak_ignore() here for
several reasons so this patch will not be needed.
