In case of legacy scan, adapter->curr_cmd is guranteed to be
non-NULL in check_next_scan_cmd. This may not be case in
extended scan where scan command response would come earlier and
set curr_cmd to NULL. Extended scan event comes later and while
trying to complete IOCTL for scan, driver would crash in
dereferencing adapter->curr_cmd->wait_q_enabled.
Avoid this by completing IOCTL in case of legacy scans only.
Internal scan would be completed while handling extended scan
command response.

While sending null packet from driver we are passing NULL
tx_param pointer to indicate there are no more packets in queue.
PCIe send routine assumes caller has done sanity check on
tx_param and may cause crash while dereferencing next_pkt_len
from tx_param.
Avoid this by passing tx_param structure with next_pkt_len as
zero instead of NULL pointer.

During SDIO MP aggregation, we at first acquire current write
port to write data onto and then proceed with using this port
for SDIO write. If error occurs later in mwifiex_write_data_sync
because device is suspended or SDIO write failure, we do not
restore current write port and write bitmap. This results into
leaking one port and hole in SDIO write port bitmap.
Restore current write port and reset bitmap accordingly in
failure cases to avoid this.
