[PATCH] Fix scan retry after a failure

[Kalle Valo]

With broadcom's "wl" driver the first scan always fails. (Apparently it also
doesn't send scan results ready signals, but let's forget it for now.) With
connman's five minute scan interval it meant that it would take five minutes
from boot until a wireless connection was established.

The reason is that currently wpasupplicant doesn't handle scan retries
and it goes directly to INACTIVE state:

14:23:09 wpa_supplicant[1046]: Scan timeout - try to get results
14:23:09 wpa_supplicant[1046]: Failed to get scan results
14:23:09 wpa_supplicant[1046]: Failed to get scan results - try scanning again
14:23:09 wpa_supplicant[1046]: State: SCANNING -> INACTIVE

Instead of going to INACTIVE set wpa_s->scan_req to make it explicit
that this is a requested scan and fix check in wpa_supplicant_req_new_scan().

This is based on Michael Terry's patch for wpasupplicant 0.6.x reported here:
