Bug Description

[Impact]
After v6.5, calls tty->driver->ops->chars_in_buffer() may lead to a deadlock and got soft lockup error.

[Fix]
Do not use this function in dell-uart-backlight driver.
Try using tty->driver->ops->flush_chars() to send out the commands.

[Test Case]
1. Boot up Dell AIO system with v6.5 kernel.
2. Check dmesg and make sure there is no soft lockup error message in it.

[Where problems could occur]
There is no functional change, even if uart_flush_chars() doesn't do what we expected, the driver should be able to keep workings, as the backlight commands is only 3 or 4 bytes short and has little chance to stay in the queue partially.
