[PATCH] serial: set RTS and DTR if flow is 'r'

if the serial console flow is set to 'r', We need to set RTS and DTR.
Some UARTs on other side need these bit set, otherwise will not send char to or
receive char from the host that kernel is runing esp for kernel boot stage.

BTW:
earlyprintk and early_uart are hard coded to set DTR/RTS.
