tty: serial: msm_serial: RX SW/FIFO mode fallback

During db410c stress test and when the system is low on memory,
the UART/console becomes unresponsive and never recover back.
This has been narrowed down to the msm_start_rx_dma which does
not manage error cases correctly (e.g. dma mapping failure),
indeed, when an error happens, dma transfer is simply discarded
and so never completed, leading to unconfigured RX path.

This patch fixes this issue by switching to SW/FIFO mode in case
of DMA issue. This mainly consists in resetting the receiver to
apply RX BAM/DMA disabling change and re-enabling the RX level
and stale interrupts (previously disabled for DMA transfers).

The DMA will be re-enabled once memory is available since the
SW/FIFO read function (msm_handle_rx_dm) retries to start dma
on completion.
