Currently, when we are on an IBSS network with no active station,
we would scan for other BSSID, even if fixed_bssid is on,  due to
a bug in ibss.c,  where fixed_channel would be checked instead of
fixed_bssid.  This would trigger useless scans where scan results
would not be used anyway.

This patch also reverts commit 39d02a7d90602d4557ee05db2a157a4e0,
which assumed that the ifibss->fixed_channel check was legitimate
to disable single-channel scans.  IBSS single-channel scan should
now be fixed.
John, please revert f1e3be1561c43b6bbe2426e34849fb1486dc313b
