If iwl_scan_initiate() fails for any reason, priv->scan_request and priv->scan_vif are left dangling. This can lead to a crash later when iwl_bg_scan_completed() tries to run a pending scan request. In practice, this seems to be very rare due to the STATUS_SCANNING check earlier. That check, however, is wrong -- it should allow a scan to be queued when a reset/roc scan is going on. When a normal scan is already going on, a new one can't be issued by mac80211, so that code can be removed completely. I introduced this bug when adding off-channel support in commit 266af4c745952e9bebf687dd68af58df553cb59d.
