iwlwifi: pcie: fix access to scratch buffer

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1631468
commit d5d0689aefc59c6a5352ca25d7e6d47d03f543ce upstream.

This fixes a pretty ancient bug that hasn't manifested itself
until now.
The scratchbuf for command queue is allocated only for 32 slots
but is accessed with the queue write pointer - which can be
up to 256.
Since the scratch buf size was 16 and there are up to 256 TFDs
we never passed a page boundary when accessing the scratch buffer,
but when attempting to increase the size of the scratch buffer a
panic was quick to follow when trying to access the address resulted
in a page boundary.
