Dave Martin 43dd1f9a5b serial/amba-pl011: Unconditionally poll for FIFO space before each TX char
Commit 734745caeb serial/amba-pl011:
(Activate TX IRQ passively) introduces a race which causes the driver
sometimes to attempt to write a character to the TX FIFO when the FIFO
is already full.

The PL011 does not guarantee its behaviour when the FIFO is overfilled.
In practice, this can cause duplicate and/or dropped characters to be
output on the wire.  The problem is common enough to be readily
observable on the ARM Juno platform when the PL011 UART is used as
the console and DMA is not in use.

This patch fixes this problem by always polling for space before each
character is written to the FIFO.

This will be amended to a less brute-force approach in a later commit,
but this patch should help ensure correct behaviour for now.
