Subject[PATCH 3/7] kgdboc, tty: Add the rx polling call back capability
Date
The idea is to allow kgdboc to intercept a <contorol-c> or any other
character of preference to cause breakpoint interrupt which will start
the kgdb interface running on the controlling terminal where the
character was typed.

The default behavior of kgdboc changes such that the control-c will
always generate an entry to kgdb unless the "n" option is used in the
kgdb configuration line. IE: kgdboc=ttyS0,n,115200

In order to make use of the new API, a low level serial driver must
check to see if it should execute the callback function for each
character that it processes. This is similar to the approach used
with the NET_POLL API's rx_hook.

The only changes to the tty layer introduced by this patch are:
* Add poll_rx_cb() call back for the low level driver
* Move the poll_init() into kgdboc and out of tty_find_polling_driv()
* change poll_init() to accept the rx callback parameter
