powerpc/pseries: Fix hvterm_raw_get_chars to accept < 16 chars, fixing xmon
commit 4d2bb3f5 (powerpc/pseries: Re-implement HVSI as part of hvc_vio) changed udbg_getc to be based on hvterm_raw_get_chars. Unfortunately hvterm_raw_get_chars returns -EAGAIN if you ask for anything less than 16 characters. As a result xmon no longer accepts input and prints a stream of junk to the screen. The recent change highlights a problem that xmon on pseries VIO has had all along, that it can drop input characters. The issue is the hypervisor call does not take a count argument and can return up to 16 characters. This patch adds a per vterm buffer that we copy input data into and give it out as requested.
