ns16550: delay resume until dom0 ACPI has a chance to run

Check for ioport access, before fully resuming operation, to avoid
spinning in __ns16550_poll when reading the LSR register returns 0xFF
on failing ioport access.

On some systems (like Lenovo T410, and some HP machines of similar vintage)
there is a SuperIO card that provides this legacy ioport on the LPC bus.

In this case, we need to wait for dom0's ACPI processing to run the proper
AML to re-initialize the chip, before we can use the card again.

This may cause a small amount of garbage to be written to the serial log
while we wait patiently for that AML to be executed.

This implementation limits the number of retries, to avoid a situation
where we keep trying over and over again, in the case of some other failure
on the ioport.
