serial: 8250: Fix serial8250_tx_empty() race with DMA Tx
There's a potential race before THRE/TEMT deasserts when DMA Tx is
starting up (or the next batch of continuous Tx is being submitted).
This can lead to misdetecting Tx empty condition.
It is entirely normal for THRE/TEMT to be set for some time after the
DMA Tx had been setup in serial8250_tx_dma(). As Tx side is definitely
not empty at that point, it seems incorrect for serial8250_tx_empty()
claim Tx is empty.
Fix the race by also checking in serial8250_tx_empty() whether there's
DMA Tx active.
Note: This fix only addresses in-kernel race mainly to make using
TCSADRAIN/FLUSH robust. Userspace can still cause other races but they
seem userspace concurrency control problems.
