Subject: [PATCH v2] 8250_pci.c: Only check for communication class in serial_pci_guess_board

Some multiport serial cards, such as the NI PXI-8430/2, NI PXI-8430/8,
and NI PXI-8432/4 use PCI_CLASS_COMMUNICATION_OTHER and this fail the
serial_pci_is_class_communication test added in the commit 7d8905d06405
("serial: 8250_pci: Enable device after we check black list").

Since these devices are correctly listed in serial_pci_tbl, we
shouldn't need to check the PCI class IDs. This change relocates the
class checking solely into "serial_pci_guess_board" where it had been
before so that the class-check doesn't hinder initialization.

Changes in v2:
  - Remain the serial_pci_is_class_communication
  - Call the serial_pci_is_class_communication in serial_pci_guess_board
    function.
