mac80211: fix ibss scanning

Do not scan on no-IBSS and disabled channels in IBSS mode. Doing this
can trigger Microcode errors on iwlwifi and iwlegacy drivers.

Also rename ieee80211_request_internal_scan() function since it is only
used in IBSS mode and simplify calling it from ieee80211_sta_find_ibss().

This patch should address:
