mac80211: Fix dynamic power save for scanning.

Upstream commit: 7c3f4bbedc241ddcd3abe1f419c356e625231da1

Not only ps_sdata but also IEEE80211_CONF_PS is to be considered
before restoring PS in scan_ps_disable(). For instance, when ps_sdata
is set but CONF_PS is not set just because the dynamic timer is still
running, a sw scan leads to setting of CONF_PS in scan_ps_disable
instead of restarting the dynamic PS timer.
Also for the above case, a null data frame is to be sent after
returning to operating channel which was not happening with the
current implementation. This patch fixes this too.
