serial: avoid stalling suspend if serial port won't drain

Some ports seem to be unable to drain their transmitters on shut down.  Such a
problem can occur if the port is programmed for hardware imposed flow control,
characters are in the FIFO but the CTS signal is inactive.

Normally, this isn't a problem because most places where we wait for the
transmitter to drain have a time-out.  However, there is no timeout in the
suspend path.

Give a port 30ms to drain; this is an arbitary value chosen to avoid long
delays if there are many such ports in the system, while giving a reasonable
chance for a single port to drain.  Should a port not drain within this
timeout, issue a warning.
