Subject: [PATCH 11/15] tty: hvc: hvc_poll break hv read loop

Avoid looping with the spinlock held while there is read data
being returned from the hv driver. Instead note if the entire
size returned by tty_buffer_request_room was read, and request
another read poll.

This limits the critical section lengths, and provides more
even service to other consoles in case there is a pathological
condition.
