iwlagn: fix a race in the unmapping of the TFDs
While inspecting the code, I saw that iwl_tx_queue_unmap modifies the read pointer of the Tx queue without taking any locks. This means that it can race with the reclaim flow. This can possibly lead to a DMA warning complaining that we unmap the same buffer twice. This is more a W/A than a fix since it is really weird to take sta_lock inside iwl_tx_queue_unmap, but it can help until we revamp the locking model in the transport layer.
