When changing hardware control flow for a UART with dedicated RTS/CTS
pins, the new AUTORTS state is not immediately reflected in the
hardware, but only when RTS is raised. However, the serial core does
not call .set_mctrl() after .set_termios(), hence AUTORTS may only
become effective when the port is closed, and reopened later.
Note that this problem does not happen when manually using stty to
change CRTSCTS, as AUTORTS will work fine on next open.
To fix this, call .set_mctrl() from .set_termios() when dedicated
RTS/CTS pins are present, to refresh the AUTORTS or RTS state.
This is similar to what other drivers supporting AUTORTS do (e.g.
omap-serial).

Tested on r8a7791/koelsch with HSCIF1 (GPIO hardware flow control),
and HSCIF2 and SCIFB0 (dedicated hardware flow control).
A simple test program (basically "cat" with CRTSCTS configuration
capability) can be found at https://github.com/geertu/sercat
Without this patch the following will fail:
1. sercat -f /dev/hscif2 &
seq 100 120 | sercat -f -w /dev/hscif1 # hangs
2. seq 200 220 | sercat -f -w /dev/hscif2 &
sercat -f /dev/hscif1 # no data received
v2:
- Remove the paragraph about sci_init_pins() and reword.
When hardware control flow is disabled, there can still be small
glitches in the RTS signal.
These glitches are now addressed in a separate patch.
