This patch makes duration in scan request be applicable when using
SW scan, but only accepts durations greater than the default value for
the following reasons:
1. Most APs have a beacoon interval of 100ms.
2. Sending and receiving probe require some delay.
3. Setting channel to HW also requires some delays
