TTY: 8250, revert module name change
In 3.7 the 8250 module name was changed unintentionally from 8250 to 8250_core by commit 835d844d (8250_pnp: do pnp probe before legacy probe). We then had to re-introduce the old module options to ensure the old good 8250.nr_uart & co. still work. This can be done only by a very dirty hack and we did it in f2b8dfd9 (serial: 8250: Keep 8250.<xxxx> module options functional after driver rename). That is so damn ugly so that I decided to revert to the old module name and deprecate the new 8250_core options present in 3.7 and 3.8 only. The deprecation will happen in the following patch. Note that this patch changes the hack above to support "8250_core.*", because we now have "8250.*" natively.
