This is stable friendly backport of wireless-testing commit
3eecce527c7434dfd16517ce08b49632c8a26717 "iwlwifi: unify scan start
checks". Wireless-testing version include also a lot of cleanups.
On error case in {iwl3945,iwlagn}_request_scan we queue abort_scan work,
which in a fact do nothing, so we never complete the scan. Thats gives
"WARNING: at net/wireless/core.c:614 wdev_cleanup_work" and stopped
network connection until reload iwlwifi modules. Return of -EIO, and
stopping queuing any work is a fix.
Note there are still many cases when we can get:
WARNING: at net/wireless/core.c:614 wdev_cleanup_work
WARNING: at net/mac80211/scan.c:266 ieee80211_scan_completed
WARNING: at net/mac80211/scan.c:269 ieee80211_scan_complete
which are not fixed. Unfortunately does not exist single, small fix
for that problems, and we probably will see some more bug reports
with scan warnings. As solution we rewrite iwl-scan.c code to avoid
all possible race conditions. That quite big patch set is queued
for 2.6.37 .

Patch is intended for wireless-2.6, or in case when it does not
make 2.6.36 release, for -stable 2.6.36.y
