Subject: tty/serial: atmel: fix hardware handshake selection

From: Alexandre Belloni <[email protected]>

commit 5be605ac9af979265d7b64c160ad9928088a78be upstream.

Commit 1cf6e8fc8341 ("tty/serial: at91: fix RTS line management when hardware handshake is enabled") actually allowed to enable hardware handshaking.
Before, the CRTSCTS flags was silently ignored.

As the DMA controller can't drive RTS (as explain in the commit message). Ensure that hardware flow control stays disabled when DMA is used and FIFOs are not available.
