The dwell time for scanning is currently limited
so that it fits into the timings inside the ucode
when that is tracking DTIM/beacon periods for the
AP(s) it's connected to.
However, when it's connected to two APs, those
may be in lockstep, for example if they both have
a DTIM interval of 100 TU, then one could be 50
TU after the other, leaving only 50 TU free to
be used by scanning.
Since we can't know how far apart they are the
only option is to restrict to 1/2 of the minium
of the two APs.
In theory, it would be possible to not use 1/2 of
the minimum but take into account that if they
have different intervals then there will be a bit
more time since they can't be in lockstep, but as
they will have 100 TU intervals in practice that
complex calculation will probably just result in
hard-to-find bugs.

Currently when mac80211 asks to change the interface
type, we will accept it for both the BSS and PAN
contexts. This is not terribly complicated today,
but with the addition of the P2P Device abstraction
the PAN context handling will get more complex, so
restrict mac_change_interface to the BSS context.
Also fix a small locking issue and use is_active
instead of the vif pointer to check if the other
context is activated, guarding exclusive interface
types on the BSS context (IBSS) against the PAN
context being used for something else.

My previous commit to shorten the radio reset time
caused issues as the firmware checks the active
dwell time against the quiet time, asserting that
the dwell is >= quiet time. This isn't really
needed in case of passive scanning like here, but
of course we need to pass that check.
To fix this, override the quiet time to be the
same as the radio reset dwell time.

The effect of using a short single-channel scan
to reset the radio is that scanning a channel

This means that the dwell time is irrelevant,
so use a shorter time.

When the device is doing an internal radio reset
scan, ROC can be rejected to the supplicant with
busy status which confuses it.
One option would be to queue the ROC and handle
it later, but since the radio reset scan is very
quick we can just wait for it to finish instead.
Also add a warning since we shouldn't run into
the case of having a scan active when requesting
a ROC in any other case since mac80211 will not
scan while ROC or ROC while scanning.

Currently 4 channels are scanned per scan command. if scan request
is issued by user during Tx traffic, radio will be out of channel
for "4 * per_chan_scan_time" for each scan command and will not be
able to receive Rx packets. This adds delay in data traffic. We can
minimize it by reducing number of channels scanned per scan command
in this scenario.
We can not always scan 1 channel per scan command due to limitation
of number of command buffers. So we add code to decide number of
channels scanned per scan command in associated state.

If scan operation is started when Tx traffic is already running,
driver locks Tx queue until it gets completed. With this logic
there is a delay for Tx packets.
This patch implements new approach to give Tx path higher priority
in this case. Driver internally sends multiple synchronous scan
commands to firmware when scan is requested by user. Now we will
make sure that Tx queue is empty everytime before sending next scan
command. If Tx queue isn't empty scan command will be postponsed by
20msec. This rule will be followed until Tx queue becomes empty or
timeout of 1 second happens. In case of timeout scan operation will
be aborted.
