Subject: mwifiex: remove global variable cmd_wait_q_required

There is a race condition while queuing synchronous command and
asynchronous command requested from different threads, because
the wait_q_enabled flag is set based on a global variable
cmd_wait_q_required.

The issue is fixed by removing this global variable and using a
unified function with an argument 'sync' passed into the
function.

Subject: mwifiex: handle extended scan event for AP interface

Stations associated to mwifiex AP would not be able to ping AP
after scan was issued on AP interface. This happened because
there was no handling of extended scan event in AP. This patch
adds this handling and fixes ping failure issue.
