serial8250_handle_irq() assumes it's the first to read LSR register.
However, there are 8250 drivers which perform LSR read in their own irq
handler prior to calling serial8250_handle_irq(). As not all flags are
preserved across LSR reads, use serial_lsr_in() helper to get all the
preserved flags.
This commit might fix other commits too besides the ones for DW UART
mentioned below. It's just not clear to me which of the other devices
clear some of the LSR flags on read. AFAIK, nobody has complained about
this problem (either against DW or other devices) so it might not have
that bad impact in the end.
Fixes: 424d79183af0 ("serial: 8250_dw: Avoid "too much work" from bogus rx timeout interrupt")
Fixes: aa63d786cea2 ("serial: 8250: dw: Add support for DMA flow controlling devices")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
