serial: 8250: Fix fifo underflow on flush

When flushing the serial port's buffer, uart_flush_buffer() calls
kfifo_reset() but if there is an outstanding DMA transfer then the
completion function will consume data from the kfifo via
uart_xmit_advance(), underflowing and leading to ongoing DMA as the
driver tries to transmit another 2^32 bytes.

This is readily reproduced with serial-generic and amidi sending even
short messages as closing the device on exit will wait for the fifo to
drain and in the underflow case amidi hangs for 30 seconds on exit in
tty_wait_until_sent().  A trace of that gives:

     kworker/1:1-84    [001]    51.769423: bprint:               serial8250_tx_dma: tx_size=3 fifo_len=3

 irq/21-fe530000-76    [000]    51.793131: bprint:               __dma_tx_complete: tx_size=4096
 irq/21-fe530000-76    [000]    51.793135: bprint:               serial8250_tx_dma: tx_size=4096 fifo_len=4294959101

Since the port lock is held in when the kfifo is reset in
uart_flush_buffer() and in __dma_tx_complete(), adding a flush_buffer
hook to adjust the outstanding DMA byte count is sufficient to avoid the
kfifo underflow.
