5.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Fabian Vogt fvogt@suse.de
commit cfd956dcb101aa3d25bac321fae923323a47c607 upstream.
After hvc_write completes, call hvc_kick also in the case the output buffer has been drained, to ensure tty_wakeup gets called.
This fixes that functions which wait for a drained buffer got stuck occasionally.
