serial: clean up parameter passing for 8250 Rx IRQ handling
The receive_chars() was taking a pointer to a passed in LSR value
in status and knocking off bits as it processed them. But since
receive_chars isn't returning a value, we can instead pass in
a normal non-pointer value for LSR, and simply return the
residual (unprocessed) LSR once it is done.
The value in this cleanup, is that it clarifies the API of the
receive_chars prior to exporting it to other 8250-like drivers
for shared usage.
