serial: msm_serial: Fix kgdb continue

Frank reports that after continuing in kgdb the RX stale event
doesn't occur until after the RX fifo is filled up with exactly
the amount of characters programmed for the RX watermark (in this
case it's 48). To read a single character from the uartdm
hardware we force a stale event so that any characters in the RX
packing buffer are flushed into the RX fifo immediately instead
of waiting for a stale timeout or for the fifo to fill. Forcing
that stale event asserts the stale interrupt but we never clear
that interrupt via UART_CR_CMD_RESET_STALE_INT in the polling
functions. So when kgdb continues the stale interrupt is left
pending in the hardware and we don't timeout with a stale event,
like we usually would if a user typed one character on the
console, until the reset stale interrupt and stale event commands
are sent. Frank could get things working again by running
handle_rx_dm(). By putting enough characters into the fifo he
could trigger a watermark interrupt, and thus cause
handle_rx_dm() to run finally resetting the stale interrupt
and enabling the stale event so that single characters would
cause timeouts again.

The fix is to just do what the interrupt routine was doing all
along and clear the stale interrupt and enable the event again.
Doing this also smooths over any differences in the fifo behavior
between v1.3 and v1.4 hardware allowing us to skip forcing the
uart into single character mode.
