When switch to connect to a new AP for station which is already connected

The reason is when switch connection, disconnect operation happened on
the 1st AP, then 11d scan start command sent to firmware, and then a
new hw scan arrived for the 2nd AP. The 11d scan is running at this
moment, so the hw scan can not start immediately, it needs to wait
the 11d scan finished, it increased the time cost of switch AP and
even happened scan fail as log below after apply the incoming patch.
[ 1194.815104] ath11k_pci 0000:06:00.0: failed to start hw scan: -110

Change to set 11d state while disconnect, and the 11d scan will be
started after the new hw scan in ath11k_mac_op_hw_scan(). Then the
time cost of switching AP is small and not happened scan fail.

I still see warnings:

The failed log is now happened frequently as before, I will change it
again to suppress the failed log.
2 patches set to Changes Requested.
12991768 [v2,1/2] wifi: ath11k: change to set 11d state instead of start 11d scan while disconnect
12991769 [v2,2/2] wifi: ath11k: reduce the timeout value back for hw scan from 10 seconds to 1 second
