Subject: [PATCH] soc: qcom: wcnss_ctrl: Fix increment in NV upload

hdr.len includes both the size of the header and the fragment, so using
this when stepping through the firmware causes us to skip 16 bytes every
chunk of 3072 bytes; causing only the first fragment to actually be
valid data.

Instead use fragment size steps through the firmware blob.

Fixes: ea7a1f275cf0 ("soc: qcom: Introduce WCNSS_CTRL SMD client")

It's worth noting that the firmware does not complain about the broken NV blob
nor does fixing this seem to alter the behavior of BT or WLAN - perhaps because
the WLAN driver uploads the NV blob as well?
