kgdb,8250,pl011: Return immediately from console poll
The design of the kdb shell requires that every device that can
provide input to kdb have a polling routine that exits immediately if
there is no character available. This is required in order to get the
page scrolling mechanism working.
Changing the kernel debugger I/O API to require all polling character
routines to exit immediately if there is no data allows the kernel
debugger to process multiple input channels.
NO_POLL_CHAR will be the return code to the polling routine when ever
there is no character available.
