mac80211: fix sw scan bracketing
Currently, detection in hwsim and ath9k can detect that two sw scans are in flight at the same time, which isn't really true. It is caused by a race condition, because the scan complete callback is called too late, after the lock has been dropped, so that a new scan can be started before it is called. It is also called too early semantically, as it is currently called _after_ the return to the operating channel -- it should be before so that drivers know this is the operating channel again.
