Subject: ath6kl: fix crash when interface is closed but scan is
 ongoing

From: Kalle Valo <kvalo@qca.qualcomm.com>

commit 98ab5c7755b5cc9e1a8f2a57ccb22eac5e13ec50 upstream.

When ath6kl module was resumed while a scan was ongoing, for example during
suspend, the driver would crash in ar6k_cfg80211_scanComplete_event():

Fix the function not to iterate nodes when the scan is aborted. The nodes
are already freed when the module is being unloaded. Patch "ath6kl: Fix a
kernel panic furing suspend/resume" tried to fix this already but it wasn't
enough as a pointer was still used even after the null check. This patch
removes the null check entirely as the wmi structure is not accessed anymore
during module unload.

Also fix a bug where the status was checked as a bitfield with '&' operator.
But it's not a bitfield, just a regular (enum like) value.
