serial: change the divisor latch only when prescalar actually changed
In 8250.c original ns16550 autoconfig code, we change the divisor latch when
we goto to high speed mode, we're assuming the previous speed is legacy. This
some times is not true.
For example in a system with both CONFIG_SERIAL_8250 and
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_PNP set, in this case, the code (autoconfig) will be called
twice, one in serial8250_init/probe() and the other is from
serial_pnp_probe. When serial_pnp_probe calls the autoconfig for NS16550A,
it's already in high speed mode, change the divisor latch (quot << 3) in this
case will make the UART console garbled.
