This should decrease un-necessary flushes, on/off channel work,
and channel changes in cases where the only scanned channel is
the current operating channel.

v2:  Check channels instead of flag when determining if we should
   do a channel change in scan_completed_finish.

Can you look at work.c -- where we call
ieee80211_offchannel_stop_beaconing etc.

In this patch, you're moving the call to
ieee80211_offchannel_stop_beaconing next to
ieee80211_offchannel_stop_station in scan.c.

Therefore, you can combine those two into one function.

However, I guess it'd also be nice to also address the TODO in work.c
and move the "don't do so much if not really off-channel" logic into
that function? You must run into that when trying to associate on one
vif and the others get stopped etc. unnecessarily to do that.

I think you are right about this, but due to the tricky nature
of this code, maybe save that for a second patch?

Thanks,
Ben
