mac80211: Properly WARN on HW scan before restart
The following race was possible: 1. The device driver requests HW restart. 2. A scan is requested from user space and is propagated to the driver. During this flow HW_SCANNING flag is set. 3. The thread that handles the HW restart is scheduled, and before starting the actual reconfiguration it checks that HW_SCANNING is not set. The flow does so without acquiring any lock, and thus the WARN fires. Fix this by checking that HW_SCANNING is on only after RTNL is acquired, i.e., user space scan request handling is no longer in transit.
