serial: sh-sci: prevent lockup on full TTY buffers

commit 7842055bfce4bf0170d0f61df8b2add8399697be upstream.

When the TTY buffers fill up to the configured maximum, a system lockup
occurs:

[  598.820128] INFO: rcu_preempt detected stalls on CPUs/tasks:
[  598.825796]  0-...!: (1 GPs behind) idle=5a6/2/0 softirq=1974/1974 fqs=1

[  598.851476]  __switch_to+0x98/0xb0
[  598.854870]            (null)

This can be prevented by doing a dummy read of the RX data register.

This issue affects both HSCIF and SCIF ports. Reported for R-Car H3 ES2.0;
reproduced and fixed on H3 ES1.1. Probably affects other R-Car platforms
as well.
