[PATCH tty-next v5 2/6] serial: 8250: Use frame time to determine timeout

[John Ogness]

Rather than using a hard-coded per-character Tx-timeout of 10ms,
use the frame time to determine a timeout value. The value is
doubled to ensure that a timeout is only hit during unexpected
circumstances.

Since the frame time may not be available during early printing,
the previous 10ms value is kept as a fallback.
