[PATCH] mac80211: add pre- and post-scan hooks

[Dan Williams <dcbw@xxxxxxxxxx>]

mrv8k has commands that get called before and after the scan has been
done to save and restore hardware state.  Add optional callbacks to
mac80211 to enable low-level drivers to know when the stack is about to
start scanning, and when it's done.
