iwlwifi: enable serialization of synchronous commands

Until now it was only possible to have one synchronous command running at
any time. If a synchronous command is in progress when a second request
arrives then the second command will fail. Create a new mutex specific for
this purpose to only allow one synchronous command at a time, but enable
other commands to wait instead of fail if a synchronous command is in
progress.
