    iwm: mask closed_rb_num to the RX ring size

    iwm_notif_intr() reads hw = le16toh(sc->rxq.stat->closed_rb_num) & 0xfff
and
    loops while (sc->rxq.cur != hw) without masking hw to the ring size (512
entries
    for 9000-series MQ RX, 256 for legacy). If the hardware reports a value at
or
    above the ring size, cur never equals hw: the loop walks stale ring entries
    indefinitely and the write-pointer update uses a bogus index. Linux iwlwifi
    masks the value (5eae443eb5e2) and OpenBSD has done the same since
9000-series
    support was added (3287dca4fa10).

    This was found while debugging an iwm crash on another BSD using the same
    driver lineage (DragonFly, upstream bug 3449)

    Locally tested:

    * 7260, 9260, STA mode
