serial: 8250: always disable IRQ during THRE test

commit 039d4926379b ("serial: 8250: Toggle IER bits on only after irq
has been set up") moved IRQ setup before the THRE test, in combination
with commit 205d300aea75 ("serial: 8250: change lock order in
serial8250_do_startup()") the interrupt handler can run during the
test and race with its IIR reads. This can produce wrong THRE test
results and cause spurious registration of the
serial8250_backup_timeout timer. Unconditionally disable the IRQ for
the short duration of the test and re-enable it afterwards to avoid
the race.

Depends-on: 205d300aea75 ("serial: 8250: change lock order in serial8250_do_startup()")
