[PATCH 4.9 26/30] serial: Create uart_xmit_advance()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit e77cab77f2cb3a1ca2ba8df4af45bb35617ac16d upstream.

A very common pattern in the drivers is to advance xmit tail
index and do bookkeeping of Tx'ed characters. Create
uart_xmit_advance() to handle it.
