libertas: ensure we clean up a scan request properly 

Commit 2e30168b ("libertas: terminate scan when stopping interface")
adds cleanup code to lbs_eth_stop to call cfg80211_scan_done if there's
an outstanding cfg80211_scan_request.  However, it assumes that the
scan request was allocated via the cfg80211 stack.  Libertas has
its own internal allocation method, kept track of with
priv->internal_scan.  This doesn't set scan_req->wiphy, amongst other
things, which results in hitting a BUG() when we call cfg80211_scan_done
on the request.

This provides a function to take care of the low-level scan_req cleanup
details.  We simply call that to deal with finishing up scan requests.

The bug we were hitting was:

[  964.321495] kernel BUG at net/wireless/core.h:87!
