serial: amba-pl011: Respect DMA controller's copy_align requirement
Some DMA controllers require transfer lengths to be aligned to a specific boundary. For example, the Tegra GPC DMA requires 4-byte (word) aligned transfers and will reject unaligned lengths. Align the TX DMA buffer length down to the DMA controller's copy_align boundary before submitting the transfer. Any remaining unaligned bytes will be transmitted via PIO on subsequent calls, which is the existing fallback behavior when DMA is not used.
