As either start_tx_rs485() or start_tx() calls __start_tx() as the last line of their logic, it makes sense to just move that call into start_tx(). When start_tx_rs485() wants to defer tx using timer, return false so start_tx() can return based on it. Reorganize em485 code in serial8250_start_tx() so that the return can be shared for the cases where tx start is deferred.
