ath6kl: Fix system freeze under heavy data load

Patch "ath6kl: Fix buffer alignment for scatter-gather write" does
memmove for a length (scat_req->scat_list[i].len) which is not the
actual length of data that is suppossed to be moved. The right
lengh is packet->act_len + HTC_HDR_LENGTH. Using wrong length
for data move during buffer alignment causes system freeze after
the following WARN_ON and sometimes target assert.
