tty: serial: OMAP: block idle while the UART is transferring data in PIO mode

Prevent OMAP UARTs from going idle while they are still transferring
data in PIO mode.  This works around an oversight in the OMAP UART
hardware present in OMAP34xx and earlier: an idle UART won't send a
wakeup when the TX FIFO threshold is reached.  This causes long delays
during data transmission when the MPU powerdomain enters a low-power
mode.  The MPU interrupt controller is not able to respond to
interrupts when it's in a low-power state, so the TX buffer is not
refilled until another wakeup event occurs.

This fix changes the erratum i291 DMA idle workaround.  Rather than
toggling between force-idle and no-idle, it will toggle between
smart-idle and no-idle.  The important part of the workaround is the
no-idle part, so this shouldn't result in any change in behavior.

This fix should work on all OMAP UARTs.  Future patches intended for
the 3.4 merge window will make this workaround conditional on a
"feature" flag, and will use the OMAP36xx+ TX event wakeup support.

Thanks to Kevin Hilman <khilman@ti.com> for mentioning the erratum i291
workaround, which led to the development of this approach.
