Currently scan operation is delayed/aborted based on Tx traffic
consistency. This decision is taken after receiving scan
response of first scan command from FW. But when heavy traffic
is running, we can not even afford to send first scan command
and go off channel for 30msec. We will block scan request in
this case.

Earlier scan command was postponed by 20msec multiple times to give
preference to Tx traffic until we find empty wmm queue.
There is a corner case in which wmm queue becomes empty immediately
after processing the packet(before 20msec) and there may be next
packet coming after some time. In this case we should not resume scan
operation.
We will use new flag to check Tx traffic and resume scan operation
only if there is no traffic for 200msec.

1) Recently we removed set_channel cfg80211 handler. Also, cfg80211
blocks ibss connection requests if ibss network is already started
/joined. Hence the code to restart ibss network in new channel
(mwifiex_drv_change_adhoc_chan() function) becomes redundant.
2) mwifiex_bss_set_channel() function is redundant. It does some
error checking and calculate adhoc start band and adhoc channel.
Cfg80211 already takes care of error checking and provides correct
channel information to the driver. Adhoc start band is already
calculated in mwifiex_set_rf_channel() function.
Other associated code is also removed in this patch.

We miss to wakeup main thread after adding command to cmd pending
queue at follwing places. These commands are handled later when
main thread is woken up for handling an interrupt for sleep event
from firmware. This adds worst case delay of 50msec.
1) We don't wakeup main thread when asynchronous command is added
to cmd pending queue. Move queue_work() call from
mwifiex_wait_queue_complete() to mwifiex_send_cmd_async() to wakeup
main thread for sync as well as async commands.
2) Scan operation is triggered due to following reasons
a) request from user (ex. "iw scan" command)
b) Scan performed by driver internally.
In first case main thread is woken up when first scan command is
queued in cmd pending queue (we don't need to wakeup main thread for
subsequent scan commands, because they are queued in scan command
response handler), but it is not done for second case. queue_work()
is moved inside mwifiex_scan_networks() to handle both the cases.

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.

2) network_tsf - firmware's TSF value at the time the beacon or probe

2) Rename "network_tsf" to "fw_tsf"

4) Use timestamp provided to stack in scan results using
