serial: Refactor uart_flush_buffer() from uart_close()
In the context of the final tty & port close, flushing the tx
ring buffer after the hardware has already been shutdown and
the ring buffer freed is neither required nor desirable.
uart_flush_buffer() performs 3 operations:
1. Resets tx ring buffer indices, but the tx ring buffer has
already been freed and the indices are reset if the port is
re-opened.
2. Calls uart driver's flush_buffer() method
5 in-tree uart drivers define flush_buffer() methods:
amba-pl011, atmel-serial, imx, serial-tegra, timbuart
These have been refactored into the shutdown() method, if
required.
3. Kicks the ldisc for more writing, but this is undesirable.
The file handle is being released; any waiting writer will
will be kicked out by tty_release() with a warning. Further,
the N_TTY ldisc may generate SIGIO for a file handle which
is no longer valid.
