Subject: [PATCH iwl-net] libie: fix string names for AQ error codes

The LIBIE_AQ_STR macro() introduced by commit 5feaa7a07b85 ("libie: add
adminq helper for converting err to str") is used in order to generate
strings for printing human readable error codes. Its definition is missing
the separating underscore ('_') character which makes the resulting strings
difficult to read. Additionally, the string won't match the source code,
preventing search tools from working properly.

Add the missing underscore character, fixing the error string names.

I found this recently while reviewing the libie code. I believe this
warrants a net fix because it is both simple, and because users may attempt
to pass printed error codes into search tools like grep, and will be unable
to locate the error values without manually adding the missing '_'.
