Subject: [PATCH LINUX v4 03/13] tty: xuartps: Don't consider circular buffer when enabling transmitter

Restarting the transmitter even if the circ buffer is empty may be
necessary to push out remaining data when the port is restarted after
being stopped.

v3:
 - changed this patch to not always enable the transmitter, but keep the
   check for uart_tx_stopped() in place, as suggested by Peter, whose
   explanation I also stole for the new commit message (thx)
