mac80211: don't drop nullfunc frames during software scan

Browse source

ieee80211_tx_h_check_assoc() was dropping everything else than probe
requests during software scan. So the nullfunc frame with the power save
bit was dropped and AP never received it. This meant that AP never
buffered any frames for the station during software scan.

Fix this by allowing to transmit both probe request and nullfunc frames
during software scan. Tested with stlc45xx.
