[PATCH v11 15/19] serial: amba-pl011: Pass FIQ information to KGDB.

Speculatively register a FIQ resource with KGDB. KGDB will only
accept it if the kgdb/fiq feature is enabled (both with compile time and
runtime switches) and the interrupt controller supports FIQ.

By providing this information to KGDB the serial driver offers
"permission" for KGDB to route the UART interrupt signal from the
drivers own handler to KGDBs FIQ handler (which will eventually use the
UART's polled I/O callbacks to interact with the user). This permission
also implies the amba-pl011 driver has already unmasked RX interrupts
(otherwise the FIQ handler will never trigger).
