    LinuxKPI: 802.11 handle IEEE80211_CONF_IDLE better
    
    We never initialized hw->conf.flags for IEEE80211_CONF_IDLE but
    on set_channel we would clear it and announce a change.
    This lead to a problem that drivers may do some work every time
    which was not needed and may lead to unexpected behaviour (for no
    better driver code).
    
    Properly initialize conf.flags with IEEE80211_CONF_IDLE.
    Factor out the toggling into a function and clear IDLE while
    sw scanning and when associated and set again when scan ends
    or we are bouncing out of assoc.
    
    MFC after:      3 days
