serial: 8250_dma: Fix DMA Rx rearm race

As DMA Rx can be completed from two places, it is possible that DMA Rx
completes before DMA completion callback had a chance to complete it.
Once the previous DMA Rx has been completed, a new one can be started
on the next UART interrupt. The following race is possible
(uart_unlock_and_check_sysrq_irqrestore() replaced with
spin_unlock_irqrestore() for simplicity/clarity):

CPU0 CPU1
dma_rx_complete()
serial8250_handle_irq()
  spin_lock_irqsave(&port->lock)
  handle_rx_dma()
    serial8250_rx_dma_flush()
      __dma_rx_complete()
        dma->rx_running = 0
        // Complete DMA Rx
  spin_unlock_irqrestore(&port->lock)

serial8250_handle_irq()
  spin_lock_irqsave(&port->lock)
  handle_rx_dma()
    serial8250_rx_dma()
      dma->rx_running = 1
      // Setup a new DMA Rx
  spin_unlock_irqrestore(&port->lock)

  spin_lock_irqsave(&port->lock)
  // sees dma->rx_running = 1
  __dma_rx_complete()
    dma->rx_running = 0
    // Incorrectly complete
    // running DMA Rx

This race seems somewhat theoretical to occur for real but handle it
correctly regardless. Check what is the DMA status before complething
anything in __dma_rx_complete().
