serial: owl: drop low-latency workaround

The owl driver has always carried an unnecessary workaround for the
infamous low_latency behaviour of tty_flip_buffer_push(), which had
been removed years before the driver was added by commit fc60a8b675bd
("tty: serial: owl: Implement console driver").

Specifically, since commit a9c3f68f3cd8 ("tty: Fix low_latency BUG"),
tty_flip_buffer_push() always schedules a work item to push data to the
line discipline and there's no need to keep any low_latency hacks around.
