Log:
  [net80211] Don't check bgscanidle setting in net80211 for full-offload scan.
  
  If full-offload scan is used, the NIC driver (or rather the firmware of
  the NIC) should take care of interrupting and continuing the background
  scan. So net80211 should ignore the vap->iv_bgscanidle setting then, instead
  the NIC driver might look at this setting and pass it on to the firmware
  in some way if possible.
  
  Since full-offload scans won't be explicitly interrupted by net80211, it
  also doesn't really make sense to check the vap->iv_bgscanidle condition
  in that case, before starting a background scan. If the NIC driver
  advertises background scan support and full-offload scanning, the firmware
  should be able to execute that scan without interfering too much with our
  data traffic.
