serial: port: Don't block system suspend even if bytes are left to xmit

Recently, suspend testing on sc7180-trogdor based devices has started
to sometimes fail with messages like this:

port a88000.serial:0.0: PM: calling pm_runtime_force_suspend+0x0/0xf8 @ 28934, parent: a88000.serial:0
port a88000.serial:0.0: PM: dpm_run_callback(): pm_runtime_force_suspend+0x0/0xf8 returns -16
port a88000.serial:0.0: PM: pm_runtime_force_suspend+0x0/0xf8 returned -16 after 33 usecs
port a88000.serial:0.0: PM: failed to suspend: error -16

I could reproduce these problems by logging in via an agetty on the
debug serial port (which was _not_ used for kernel console) and
running:
cat /var/log/messages
...and then (via an SSH session) forcing a few suspend/resume cycles.

Tracing through the code and doing some printf()-based debugging shows
that the -16 (-EBUSY) comes from the recently added
serial_port_runtime_suspend().

The idea of the serial_port_runtime_suspend() function is to prevent
the port from being _runtime_ suspended if it still has bytes left to
transmit. Having bytes left to transmit isn't a reason to block
_system_ suspend, though. If a serdev device in the kernel needs to
block system suspend it should block its own suspend and it can use
serdev_device_wait_until_sent() to ensure bytes are sent.

The DEFINE_RUNTIME_DEV_PM_OPS() used by the serial_port code means
that the system suspend function will be pm_runtime_force_suspend().
In pm_runtime_force_suspend() we can see that before calling the
runtime suspend function we'll call pm_runtime_disable(). This should
be a reliable way to detect that we're called from system suspend and
that we shouldn't look for busyness.
