ionic: fix completion descriptor access with 2x desc size
This commit fixes completion descriptor access when the IONIC_Q_F_2X_CQ_DESC
flag is set. It introduces pointer arithmetic to correctly calculate the
offset of the 32-byte completion descriptor slot.

This is a pre-existing issue, but since the descriptor access is being
modified here, should there be a dma_rmb() after the color_match() check?
Without a read memory barrier, weakly-ordered CPU architectures might
speculatively read other fields of the descriptor from memory before checking
the color bit. This could result in processing stale data from the previous
ring cycle.

Does this color_match() check also need a dma_rmb() immediately following it
to prevent stale descriptor reads on the transmit side?
