Subject: [PATCH v1 06/12] serial: 8250_dma: stop ongoing RX DMA on exception

If we get an exeption interrupt. i.e. UART_IIR_RLSI, stop any ongoing RX DMA
transfer otherwise it might generates more spurious interrupts and make port
unavailable anymore.

As has been seen on Intel Broxton system:
...
[  168.526281] serial8250: too much work for irq5
[  168.535908] serial8250: too much work for irq5
[  173.449464] serial8250_interrupt: 4439 callbacks suppressed
[  173.455694] serial8250: too much work for irq5
...
