serial: sh-sci: Fix hang in sci_reset()
When the .set_termios() callback resets the UART, it first waits (busy loops) until all characters in the transmit FIFO have been transmitted, to prevent a port configuration change from impacting these characters. However, if the UART has dedicated RTS/CTS hardware flow control enabled, these characters may have been stuck in the FIFO due to CTS not being asserted by the remote side. - When a new user opens the port, .set_termios() is called while transmission is still disabled, leading to an infinite loop: NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 22s! - When an active user changes port configuration without waiting for the draining of the transmit FIFO, this may also block indefinitely, until CTS is asserted by the remote side. This has been observed with SCIFA (on r8a7740/armadillo), and SCIFB and HSCIF (on r8a7791/koelsch). To fix this, remove the code that waits for the draining of the transmit FIFO.
