jsm: remove buggy write queue

commit 9d898966c4a07e4a5092215b5a2829d0ef02baa2 upstream.

jsm uses a write queue that copies from uart_core circular buffer. This
copying however has some bugs, like not wrapping the head counter. Since
this write queue is also a circular buffer, the consumer function is
ready to use the uart_core circular buffer directly.

This buggy copying function was making some bytes be dropped when
transmitting to a raw tty, doing something like this.

This patch drops the driver write queue entirely, using the circular
buffer from uart_core only.
