[PATCH] Improve performance of reconnect operation

Thu Mar 6 10:06:04 PST 2014
Added "reattach" command to perform single-channel single-ssid
scan instead of full scan when trying to reconnect to the currently
"connected" network. This allows the scan result to come
back in much faster time. In ath9k, the scan took around 12 seconds
with full background scan, and only 0.1 second with the single-channel
single-ssid scan. Thus, take much less time for the client to re-establish
connection with the currently "connected" network.
