serial: mxs-auart: fix the wrong RTS hardware flow control



Without checking if the auart supports the hardware flow control or not,
the old mxs_auart_set_mctrl() asserted the RTS pin blindly.

This will causes the auart receives wrong data in the following case:
   The far-end has already started the write operation, and wait for
the auart asserts the RTS pin. Then the auart starts the read operation,
but mxs_auart_set_mctrl() may be called before we set the RTSCTS in the
mxs_auart_settermios(). So the RTS pin is asserted in a wrong situation,
and we get the wrong data in the end.

This bug has been catched when I connect the mx23(DTE) to the mx53(DCE).

This patch also replaces the AUART_CTRL2_RTS with AUART_CTRL2_RTSEN.
We should use the real the hardware flow control, not the software-controled
hardware flow control.
