Subject: [PATCH] serial: 8250: Fix reporting real baudrate value in c_ospeed field

In most cases it is not possible to set exact baudrate value to hardware.

So fix reporting real baudrate value which was set to hardware via c_ospeed
termios field. It can be retrieved by ioctl(TCGETS2) from userspace.

Real baudrate value is calculated from chosen hardware divisor and base
clock. It is implemented in a new function serial8250_compute_baud_rate()
which is inverse of serial8250_get_divisor() function.

With this change is fixed also UART timeout value (it is updated via
uart_update_timeout() function), which is calculated from the now fixed
baudrate value too.

I have tested this change on device with 8250 compatible UART. I have not
tested it on PORT_NPCM nor on UPF_MAGIC_MULTIPLIER hardware, as I do not
have such.

Tested device has 250 MHz base clock for 8250 UART. When I set baudrate to
115200, then ioctl(TCGETS2) reported B115200 CBAUD flag and value 114890 in
c_ospeed field.

This result is correct as HW for baudrate 115200 is using UART divisor 136,
which results in correct reported baudrate: 250000000/(16*136) = 114890
