drm/msm/rd: Fix FIFO-full deadlock

If the previous thing cat'ing $debugfs/rd left the FIFO full, then
subsequent open could deadlock in rd_write() (because open is blocked,
not giving a chance for read() to consume any data in the FIFO). Also
it is generally a good idea to clear out old data from the FIFO.
