tty/serial: atmel: fix race condition (TX+DMA)
commit 31ca2c63 upstream. If uart_flush_buffer() is called between atmel_tx_dma() and atmel_complete_tx_dma(), the circular buffer has been cleared, but not atmel_port->tx_len. That leads to a circular buffer overflow (dumping (UART_XMIT_SIZE - atmel_port->tx_len) bytes).
