Subject: [PATCH (RFT 2)] mac80211: fix hardware scan completion

The mac80211 MLME requires restarting timers after a scan
completes but this wasn't done when hardware scan offload
was added, so add it now.

This is version of the patch with correct locking. Bill, please test
this. John, please merge if Bill says it's ok.

Sorry, forgot to CC the mailing list.
