From: Sam Leffler <sleffler@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Add NL80211_SCAN_FLAG_LOW_PRIORITY flag support. It tells drivers
that this is a low priority scan request, so that they can take
necessary action.
Drivers need to advertise low priority scan capability during
registration.

v3: Add WIPHY_FLAG_LOW_PRIORITY_SCAN flag so that device can advertise
low priority scan capability. An error will be returned to the
application if device doesn't support this feature.
Flush scan table feature is by default enabled.
