Raul E Rangel a424a34b8f serial: 8250: Fix TX deadlock when using DMA
`dmaengine_terminate_async` does not guarantee that the
`__dma_tx_complete` callback will run. The callback is currently the
only place where `dma->tx_running` gets cleared. If the transaction is
canceled and the callback never runs, then `dma->tx_running` will never
get cleared and we will never schedule new TX DMA transactions again.

This change makes it so we clear `dma->tx_running` after we terminate
the DMA transaction. This is "safe" because `serial8250_tx_dma_flush`
is holding the UART port lock. The first thing the callback does is also
grab the UART port lock, so access to `dma->tx_running` is serialized.
