This does not look correct and can result in unexpected notifications of
scanning being stopped. wpa_supplicant_cancel_scan() cancels a scheduled
scan request, not an ongoing scan. If there is no ongoing scan,
wpa_s->scanning == 0 and this change would not achieve anything. If
there is an ongoing scan, this would claim that the scan has been
completed, even though it has not, and as such, this could result in
incorrect behavior.

Why would this change be needed and is there really justification for
breaking the existing scan notification mechanism because of that?
