mac80211: disable moving between PS modes during scan
We don't want to trigger moving between PS mode during scan, because then we will sometimes end up sending nullfunc frames during scan. We're supposed to only send one prior to scan and after scan. This fixes an oops which occured due to an assert in ath9k: http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=124277331319024 The assert was happening because the rate control algorithm figures it should find at least one valid dual stream or single stream rate. Since we allow mac80211 to send nullfunc frames during scan and dynamic PS was enabled at times we ended up trying to send nullfunc frames for the target sta on the wrong band for which we have no valid rate to communicate with it. This breaks the assumptions in rate control. We determine we also need to disable moving between PS modes when not associated so lets just add that now as well, and we should not have a ps_sdata when that interface cannot actually go into PS because it's not associated.
