mac80211: keep lock when calling __ieee80211_scan_completed()

We are taking local->mtx inside __ieee80211_scan_completed(), but just
before call to that function we drop the lock. Dropping/taking lock is not
good, because can lead to hard to understand race conditions.

Patch split scan_completed() code into two functions, first must be called
with local->mtx taken and second without it.
