serial: max310x: schedule tx_work directly from the IRQ handler

The TXEMPTY interrupt asks for a FIFO refill, and start_tx() does
nothing beyond scheduling tx_work, so going through it makes no
functional difference. It does conflate two distinct events, though:
start_tx() is the serial core starting a new transmission, while
TXEMPTY can only fire for a transmission that is already running -
the bit latches on the FIFO's non-empty to empty transition, and the
IRQ handler's read of IRQSTS consumes the latch, so a stale TXEMPTY
cannot exist on an idle port (if the bit were level-triggered, the
handler's read-until-clear loop would never terminate).

Schedule tx_work directly, keeping the interrupt path a pure FIFO
refill. This is preparation for a following patch that adds
software-timed RS485 RTS control, where start_tx() also starts the
RTS envelope and a refill must not restart it.

No functional change.
