[PATCH 4.4 08/25] serial: stm32: fix software flow control transfer

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Valentin Caron <valentin.caron@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 037b91ec7729524107982e36ec4b40f9b174f7a2 upstream.

x_char is ignored by stm32_usart_start_tx() when xmit buffer is empty.

Fix start_tx condition to allow x_char to be sent.
