[PATCH ath-next] wifi: ath12k: Fix scan initiation failure handling

During a code review, it is observed that in the scenario
where scan initiation fails, the current code schedules the
ar->scan.timeout workqueue which is not necessary.

In the scan initiation failure scenario, exit the code instead
of scheduling the ar->scan.timeout workqueue.

Compile tested only.
