serial: 8250: Defer interrupt enable until fifos enabled
An already-active sender can swamp the interrupt handler with "too much work" if the rx interrupts are enabled when the fifo is disabled and operating in single-byte mode. Defer rx and line status interrupt enable until after the fifos are enabled in set_termios(), but at least initialize the shadow IER value with the interrupts which will be enabled.
