ieee80211_tx_h_check_assoc() was dropping everything else than probe
requests during software scan. So the null frame with the power save
bit was dropped and AP never received it. This meant that AP never
buffered any frames for the station during software scan.

Fix this by allowing to transmit both probe request and null frames
during software scan. Tested with stlc45xx.

Would it make sense to reorder the scan code instead?

Perhaps. I chose this path only because it was simple to implement :) I'll take a look at the scan code in more detail and fix it there.
