If you trigger a scan request on an interface and then take it down, or rmmod the module or unplug the device the driver might "forget" to cancel the scan request. That is a bug in the driver, but the current behaviour is that we just hang endlessly waiting for the netdev refcount to become 0 which it never will. To improve robustness, check for this situation in cfg80211, warn about it and clean up behind the driver. I don't just clean up silently because it's likely that the driver also has some internal state it has now leaked. Additionally, this fixes a locking bug, clearing the scan_req pointer should be done under the rdev lock. Finally, we also need to _wait_ for the scan work and not just abort it since it might be pending and wanting to do a cleanup.
