iwlwifi: mvm: fix time event command handling race

Occasionally, we would run into this warning:

The reason is a problem with asynchronous vs. synchronous
commands, what happens here is the following:
 * TE 0x2601 is removed, the TIME_EVENT_CMD for that is async
 * a new TE (will be 0x2701) is created, the TIME_EVENT_CMD
   for that is sync and also uses a notification wait for the
   response (to avoid another race condition)
 * the response for the TE 0x2601 removal comes from the
   firmware, and is handled by the notification wait handler
   that's really waiting for the second response, but can't
   tell the difference, we therefore see the message
   "TIME_EVENT_CMD response - UID = 0x2601" instead of
   "TIME_EVENT_CMD response - UID = 0x2701".

Fix this issue by making the TE removal synchronous as well,
this means that we wait for the response to that command
first, before there's any chance of sending a new one.

Also, to detect such issues more easily in the future, add
a warning to the notification handler that detects them.
