A scan request is split into multiple scan commands queued in
scan_pending_q. Each scan command will be sent to firmware and
its response is handlded one after another.
If any error is detected while parsing IE in command response
buffer the remaining data will be ignored and error is returned.
We should check if there is any more scan commands pending in
the queue before returning error. This ensures that we will call
cfg80211_scan_done if this is the last scan command, or send
next scan command in scan_pending_q to firmware.

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.

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.

Currently global wait condition (adapter->cmd_wait_q.condition)
is used while sending synchronous commands to FW. When two threads
enter in mwifiex_send_cmd_sync() routine at the same time, both the
threads wait for their command responses. Since wait condition is
same for both, they wake up simultaneously after getting response
of 1st command. After this when a thread is waiting for command
response of 3rd command, it wakes up after getting response of 2nd
command and so on. Therefore we don't wait for the response of last
command(0xaa) during unload. Hence while next time loading the driver
command time out is seen for INIT command.
This problem is resolved by having separate wait condition flag for
each command(except scan command). Since scan command is treated
differently (by maintaining scan pending q etc.), newly defined flag
(scan_wait_q_woken) is used as a scan wait condition.
