From: Sam Leffler <sleffler@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Add a flags word to direct and scheduled scan requests; it will
be used for control of optional behaviours such as flushing the
bss cache prior to doing a scan.

v4: rebase to latest mac80211-next tree
v3: Remove unnecessary "enum cfg80211_scan_flags" and add missing
check for "nla_put_u32(msg, NL80211_ATTR_SCAN_FLAGS...".
