wl12xx: adaptive sched scan dwell times
Set the dwell times for sched scan according to the number of probe requests which are going to be transmitted. This should fix the too short dwell time problem which prevented some of the probe requests from being transmitted in cases of high number of SSIDs (10+) to be actively sched scanned. However, in the common case of having up to 1-2 SSIDs that require active scan, the dwell time would be kept to a minimum which should conserve power. This is important as sched scan also runs periodically while the host is suspended and there's great importance to keep power consumption as low as possible.
