Intel ac8260 and wpa_supplicant

hi,

There's some interesting issues with the scan logic in -HEAD where we
abort/finish a scan if there's active traffic, but there's no way to
say "the scan was interrupted by active traffic and will continue"
versus "the scan was aborted" or "the scan is finished". So sometimes
the scan results list in wpa_supplicant returns prematurely and it
doesn't know to fetch an updated one.
