iwlagn: verify mutex held for sync commands
Emmanuel noticed that there's no explicit checking that prevents the driver from attempting to issue multiple synchronous commands at the same time and wrote a patch to check. However, his patch warns only if a collision actually happened, an unlikely thing since the driver mutex should be held for synchronous command submissions. So instead of checking that a collision happened add a check that the mutex is held which ensures that collisions can't happen.
