serial: 8250: Switch to nbcon console



Implement the necessary callbacks to switch the 8250 console driver
to perform as an nbcon console.

Add implementations for the nbcon console callbacks:

  ->write_atomic()
  ->write_thread()
  ->device_lock()
  ->device_unlock()

and add CON_NBCON to the initial @flags.

All register access in the callbacks are within unsafe sections.
The ->write_atomic() and ->write_thread() callbacks allow safe
handover/takeover per byte and add a preceding newline if they
take over from another context mid-line.

For the ->write_atomic() callback, a new irq_work is used to defer
modem control since it may be called from a context that does not
allow waking up tasks.

Note: A new __serial8250_clear_IER() is introduced for direct
clearing of UART_IER. This will allow to restore the lockdep
check to serial8250_clear_IER() in a follow-up commit.
