tty: serial: msm_geni_serial: Fix TX infinite loop

The GENI serial driver handled transmit by leaving stuff in the
common circular buffer until it had completely caught up to the head,
then clearing it out all at once. This is a suboptimal way to do
transmit, as it leaves data in the circular buffer that could be
freed. Moreover, the logic implementing it is wrong, and it is easy to
get into a situation where the UART infinitely writes out the same buffer.

I could reproduce infinite serial output of the same buffer by running
dmesg, then hitting Ctrl-C. I believe what happened is xmit_size was
something large, marching towards a larger value. Then the generic OS
code flushed out the buffer and replaced it with two characters. Now the
xmit_size is a large value marching towards a small value, which it wasn't
expecting. The driver subtracts xmit_size (very large) from
uart_circ_chars_pending (2), underflows, and repeats ad nauseum. The
locking isn't wrong here, as the locks are held whenever the buffer is
manipulated, it's just that the driver wasn't expecting the buffer to be
flushed out from underneath it in between transmits.

This change reworks transmit to grab what it can from the circular buffer,
and then update ->tail, both fixing the underflow and freeing up space
for a smoother circular experience.
