iwlagn: verify that huge commands are synchronous

Since huge commands all share a single buffer,
there can only be a single one in flight at a
time since otherwise they'd overwrite each
other. This is true in the driver now, but it
seems like a possible source of bugs, so add
a test to verify that huge commands are always
sent synchronously.
