When 8250 UART is using DMA, x_char (XON/XOFF) is never sent
to the wire. After this change, x_char is injected correctly.
Create uart_xchar_out() helper for sending the x_char out and
accounting related to it. It seems that almost every driver
does these same steps with x_char. Except for 8250, however,
almost all currently lack .serial_out so they cannot immediately
take advantage of this new helper.
The downside of this patch is that it might reintroduce
the problems some devices faced with mixed DMA/non-DMA transfer
which caused revert f967fc8f16 (Revert "serial: 8250_dma:
don't bother DMA with small transfers"). However, the impact
should be limited to cases with XON/XOFF (that didn't work
with DMA capable devices to begin with so this problem is not
very likely to cause a major issue, if any at all).
