serial: avoid stalling suspend if serial port won't drain
Some ports seem to be unable to drain their transmitters on shut down. Such a
problem can occur if the port is programmed for hardware imposed flow control,
characters are in the FIFO but the CTS signal is inactive.
Normally, this isn't a problem because most places where we wait for the
transmitter to drain have a time-out. However, there is no timeout in the
suspend path.
Give a port 30ms to drain; this is an arbitary value chosen to avoid long
delays if there are many such ports in the system, while giving a reasonable
chance for a single port to drain. Should a port not drain within this
timeout, issue a warning.
