wifi: rtw89: Correct data type for scan index to avoid infinite loop

A kernel soft lockup was observed during Wi-Fi scanning on the 6GHz band.
The CPU becomes stuck in rtw89_hw_scan_add_chan_ax for over 20 seconds,
leading to a system panic.

RIP points to 0f b6 c3 (movzbl %bl, %eax), which zero-extends
the low 8 bits of RBX into RAX.
RBX (the counter i) has reached a huge value: 0x137466a1.
