serial: 8250_port: Don't use power management for kernel console 

Doing any kind of power management for kernel console is really bad idea.

First of all, it runs in poll and atomic mode. This fact attaches a limitation
on the functions that might be called. For example, pm_runtime_get_sync() might
sleep and thus can't be used. This call needs, for example, to bring the device
to powered on state on the system, where the power on sequence may require
on-atomic operations, such as Intel Cherrytrail with ACPI enumerated UARTs.
That said, on ACPI enabled platforms it might even call firmware for a job.

On the other hand pm_runtime_get() doesn't guarantee that device will become
powered on fast enough.

Besides that, imagine the case when console is about to print a kernel Oops and
it's powered off. In such an emergency case calling the complex functions is
not the best what we can do, taking into consideration that user wants to see
at least something of the last kernel word before it passes away.

Here we modify the 8250 console code to prevent runtime power management.

Note, there is a behaviour change for OMAP boards. It will require to detach
kernel console to become idle.
