For some drivers it can be useful to know whether the channel they're
supposed to switch to is going to be used for short off-channel work or
scanning, or whether the hardware is expected to stay on it for a while
longer. This is important for various kinds of calibration work, which
takes longer to complete and should keep some persistent state, even if
the channel temporarily changes.

This reverts this commit. While in theory the change is
correct the patch does not address current assumptions made
by some drivers, one which is definitley affected is ath9k.
Prior to this change the scan complete callback would be
called after we returned to the home channel and configured
the hardware RX filters. After this change we call the scan
complete callback prior to both the hw config and the config
filter. At least for ath9k this breaks quite a few assumptions
on the callback, leading to disconnects to the AP after every scan
making the driver pretty useless on STA mode. The goal behind
this commit was to address the now understood spurious warnings
from ath9k and mac80211_hwsim on scanning on two wiphys at the
same time but we have now supressed these and will address this
issue in the next kernel release.
When fixing this for good next we must first review the other
driver's dependence on this logic and perhaps consider removal
of the scan complete callback all together.

When issuing two consecutive scans you could often end up
getting in the logs:
"ath9k: Two wiphys trying to scan at the same time"
This message is due to a race in mac80211 but addressing
that race requires some more major changes on the driver
and perhaps optimizations on mac80211 like removing the
scan complete callback alltogether. Its too late to address
this this kernel release so supress the complaint and annotate
this needs fixing for later.

On our hardware (050d:7050 Belkin Components F5D7050 Wireless G Adapter),
setting any WEP key with non zero index, cause rx frames corruption.
Note: perhaps (I did not check) this can be fixed differently - by using
hw_key_idx the same as true MAC key index. But according to the comment in
rt2x00mac_set_key():
"the hardware requires keys to be assigned in correct order (When key 1
is provided but key 0 is not, then the key is not found by the hardware
during RX)"
this will be quite problematic. Since WEP should not be used, disabling
hardware crypto offload for it will not hurt much. Beside static
one key WEP will still be offloaded.

The user ratekbs of MCS15 ShortGI is incorrect and can not be lesser
than MCS15 rate. This incorrect rate may affect switching to higher
rates as the rate control algorithm always finds MCS15 is better
than MCS15 ShortGI and results in lower throughput. Fix this by
feeding the correct user ratekbs for MCS15 ShortGI rate.
This issue affects 3 stream case very badly as the 3 stream rates are
not used at all once we scale down to MCS15 from 3 stream rates.

Key locking simplification removed key->sdata != NULL verification from
ieee80211_key_free(). While that is fine for most use cases, there is one
path where this function can be called with an unlinked key (i.e.,
key->sdata == NULL && key->local == NULL). This results in a NULL pointer
dereference with the current implementation. This is known to happen at
least with FT protocol when wpa_supplicant tries to configure the key
before association.
Avoid the issue by passing in the local pointer to
ieee80211_key_free(). In addition, do not clear the key from hw_accel
or debugfs if it has not yet been added. At least the hw_accel one could
trigger another NULL pointer dereference.
