Subject[RFC 1/2] serial/8250.c: Change to singly linked handler chain.
I posted this to linux-serial yesterday, but it has attracted no comment
yet, so I'm submitting it to a wider audience.

This is a prerequisite to the interesting patch 2/2. This boots and
runs, but only on a single-port interrupt, so that's not very good
testing. It's out here for style comments.

This just converts the list of struct uart_8250_port attached to a single
IRQ from doubly linked to singly. It should have no behavior differences.
