uart: Fix bug in {uart8250, uart8250_mem, ns16550}_rx_byte functions
We have several different UART implementations of which three support a timeout when receiving characters. In all of these three implementations there is a bug where when the timeout is hit the last received character will be returned instead of the needed 0. The problem is that the timeout variable i is decremented after it has been checked in the while-loop. That leads to the fact that when the while-loop is aborted due to a timeout i will contain 0xffffffff and not 0. Thus in turn will fool the following if-statement leading to wrong return value to the caller in this case. Therefore the caller will see a received character event if there is none.
