procfs is unlikely. Scanning is not something that the kernel does by itself, a userspace application (usually wpa_supplicant) needs to perform it actively. You can see this by running e.g.
sudo iw dev $IFACE scan
on a system running wpa_supplicant (e.g. through NetworkManager). Every so often you'll get a "Device busy" error because wpa_supplicant is scanning already.
