iwlwifi: fix possible recursive locking deadlock


commit f84b29ec
Author: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

    iwlwifi: queue user-initiated scan when doing internal scan

introduced a potential deadlock because it calls
ieee80211_scan_completed() with the priv->mutex
held, but mac80211 may call back into iwlwifi
which would lead to recursive locking. Move this
out from under the mutex.
