3.13.11.3 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Loic Poulain <loic.poulain at intel.com>

commit b08c9c317e3f7764a91d522cd031639ba42b98cc upstream.

On transmit-hold-register empty, serial8250_tx_chars
should be called only if we don't use DMA.
DMA has its own tx cycle.
