serial: clean up parameter passing for 8250 Rx IRQ handling
The receive_chars() was taking a pointer to a passed in LSR value in status and knocking off bits as it processed them. But since receive_chars isn't returning a value, we can instead pass in a normal non-pointer value for LSR, and simply return the residual (unprocessed) LSR once it is done. The value in this cleanup, is that it clarifies the API of the receive_chars prior to exporting it to other 8250-like drivers for shared usage.
