Subject: [PATCHv2] serial: 8250: Fix runtime PM for start_tx() for empty buffer

Commit 932d596378b0 ("serial: 8250: Return early in .start_tx() if there
are no chars to send") caused a regression where the drivers implementing
runtime PM stopped idling. This is because serial8250_rpm_put_tx() is now
unbalanced on early return, it normally gets called at __stop_tx().

Fixes: 932d596378b0 ("serial: 8250: Return early in .start_tx() if there are no chars to send")

Changes since v1:

- Call serial8250_rpm_get_tx() only after buffer empty test as suggested
by Uwe and Johan

- Drop RS885 related patch for now, it needs to be investigated further
