[PATCH] tty: serial: 8250_core.c Bug fix for Exar chips.

[Michael Welling]

The sleep function was updated to put the serial port to sleep only when necessary.
This appears to resolve the errant behavior of the driver as described in
Kernel Bug 61961 â "My Exar Corp. XR17C/D152 Dual PCI UART modem does not
work with 3.8.0".
