wpa_supplicant sends NL80211_CMD_GET_SURVEY command every time after
normal scan, which causes brcmfmac surveying each channel again.
Currently brcmfmac implments brcmf_cfg80211_dump_survey focusing on AP
mode, thus this change will return the request other than AP mode.

I am not sure if the driver should make this kind of decision. If wpa_supplicant wants to invoke a survey after a scan than we should simply comply and give what wpa_supplicant what it requests for. If you want to avoid the survey make it a configuration option in wpa_supplicant.conf.
