nl80211 provides the NL80211_SCAN_FLAG_RANDOM_ADDR for every scan
request that should be randomized; the absence of such a flag means we
should not randomize. However, mwifiex was stashing the latest
randomization request and *always* using it for future scans, even those
that didn't set the flag.
Let's zero out the randomization info whenever we get a scan request
without NL80211_SCAN_FLAG_RANDOM_ADDR. I'd prefer to remove
priv->random_mac entirely (and plumb the randomization MAC properly
through the call sequence), but the spaghetti is a little difficult to
unravel here for me.
