    net80211: introduce two extra ieee80211_notify_scan_done()
    
    We have multiple problems with scanning currently, one being that
    an initial scan restarts itself and we are unable to start another
    scan.  wpa_supplicant in that case never shows scan results.
    Starting wpa_cli you may see: <3>CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-FAILED ret=-1 retry=1
    messages.
    Add two extra calls to ieee80211_notify_scan_done() at the end of scans
    (before possible restarts).  That will get wpa_supplicant to get
    scan results and possibly start associating to a BSSID and get us out
    of scan.  This is kind-of a bandaid but on short notice may help to
    improve the situation for some.
