Finally fixes a possible scheduling while in atomic context bug. The driver used to wait on a waitqueue if no empty buffer was available. This could lead to a deadlock if the driver was called from non-schedulable context. So fix this. The write operation may fail now. It returns the number of characters accepted. put_char will never fail, since it writes characters to an intermediate buffer which gets flushed as soon as it is full. That means the driver now can busy wait if something is in the intermediate buffer and a write_string operation follows. Seems to be an acceptable compromise, since that shouldn't happen too often.
