mac80211: fix scan cancel on ifdown

Browse Source 
When an interface is taken down while a scan is
pending -- i.e. a scan request was accepted but
not yet acted upon due to other work being in
progress -- we currently do not properly cancel
that scan and end up getting stuck. Fix this by
doing better checks when an interface is taken
down.
