The previous code does a full flush of the uart after every character.
Unfortunately, this can cause transmission delays on some serial
ports.
This patch changes the code so that it does a flush at the end of
every printk instead of at the end of every character. This reduces
the time it takes to transmit serial messages (up to 9% on my Asrock
e350m1 board). It also makes the transmission time more consistent
which is important when performing timing tests via serial
transmissions.
