Subject: [patch] iwlwifi: testing the wrong variable

The first one fixes a smatch false positive and the second one fixes
a potential bug.

drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-5000.c +786 iwl5000_txq_update_byte_cnt_tbl(37) error: buffer overflow 
'(scd_bc_tbl+txq_id)->tfd_offset' 320 <= 512
drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-5000.c +808 iwl5000_txq_inval_byte_cnt_tbl(19) error: buffer overflow 
'(scd_bc_tbl+txq_id)->tfd_offset' 320 <= 512
