[PATCH -next 01/10] serial: Refactor uart_flush_buffer() from uart_close()

[Peter Hurley]

In the context of the final tty & port close, flushing the tx
ring buffer after the hardware has already been shutdown and
the ring buffer freed is neither required nor desirable.

uart_flush_buffer() performs 3 operations:
1. Resets tx ring buffer indices, but the tx ring buffer has
   already been freed and the indices are reset if the port is
   re-opened.
2. Calls uart driver's flush_buffer() method
   5 in-tree uart drivers define flush_buffer() methods:
     amba-pl011, atmel-serial, imx, serial-tegra, timbuart
   These have been refactored into the shutdown() method, if
   required.
3. Kicks the ldisc for more writing, but this is undesirable.
   The file handle is being released; any waiting writer will
   will be kicked out by tty_release() with a warning. Further,
   the N_TTY ldisc may generate SIGIO for a file handle which
   is no longer valid.
