[PATCH] serial: 8250: account for partial receive DMA delivery to TTY

[James Hilliard]

tty_insert_flip_string() can accept fewer bytes than requested when the
flip buffer cannot grow. The DMA receive path advances past the entire
range regardless, but does not record that some bytes were dropped.

Increment buf_overrun on a short insertion, as the PIO receive path
does for a failed character insertion. Keep rx accounting for bytes
received from hardware and do not retry data after the DMA buffer has
been released.
