nl80211 requires NL80211_CMD_ABORT_SCAN to have a wdev or netdev
attribute present and checks that if netdev is provided it is UP.
However, mac80211 does not check that an ongoing scan actually belongs
to the netdev/wdev provided by the user. In other words, it is possible
for an application to cancel scans on an interface it doesn't manage.
