Subject: [PATCH v3 1/1] serial: 8250: Toggle IER bits on only after irq has been set up

Invoking TIOCVHANGUP on 8250_mid port on Ice Lake-D and then reopening
the port triggers these faults during serial8250_do_startup():

  DMAR: DRHD: handling fault status reg 3
  DMAR: [DMA Write NO_PASID] Request device [00:1a.0] fault addr 0x0 [fault reason 0x05] PTE Write access is not set

If the IRQ hasn't been set up yet, the UART will have zeroes in its MSI
address/data registers. Disabling the IRQ at the interrupt controller
won't stop the UART from performing a DMA write to the address programmed
in its MSI address register (zero) when it wants to signal an interrupt.

The UARTs (in Ice Lake-D) implement PCI 2.1 style MSI without masking
capability, so there is no way to mask the interrupt at the source PCI
function level, except disabling the MSI capability entirely, but that
would cause it to fall back to INTx# assertion, and the PCI specification
prohibits disabling the MSI capability as a way to mask a function's
interrupt service request.

The MSI address register is zeroed during by the hangup as the irq is
freed. The interrupt is signalled during serial8250_do_startup()
performing a THRE test that temporarily toggles THRI in IER. The THRE
test currently occurs before UART's irq (and MSI address) is properly
set up.

Refactor serial8250_do_startup() such that irq is set up before the
THRE test. The current irq setup code is intermixed with the timer
setup code. As THRE test must be performed prior to the timer setup,
extract it into own function and call it only after the THRE test.
