Preserve the original value of the Divisor Latch Fraction (DLF) register.
When the DLF register is modified without preservation, it can disrupt
the baudrate settings established by firmware or bootloader, leading to
data corruption and the generation of unreadable or distorted characters.
Fixes: 701c5e73b296 ("serial: 8250_dw: add fractional divisor support")
