Subject: [PATCH tty-next v4 3/6] serial: 8250: Use high-level writing function for FIFO

Currently serial8250_console_fifo_write() directly writes into
the UART_TX register rather than using the high-level function
serial8250_console_putchar(). This is because
serial8250_console_putchar() waits for the holding register to
become empty, which would defeat the purpose of the FIFO code.

Move the LSR_THRE waiting to a new function
serial8250_console_wait_putchar() so that the FIFO code can use
serial8250_console_putchar(). This will be particularly important
for a follow-up commit, where output bytes are inspected to track
newlines.

This is only refactoring and has no functional change.
