serial: 8250: Keep 8250.<xxxx> module options functional after driver rename With commit 835d844d1 (8250_pnp: do pnp probe before legacy probe), the 8250 driver was renamed to 8250_core. This means any existing usage of the 8259.<xxxx> module parameters or as a kernel command line switch is now broken, as the 8250_core driver doesn't parse options belonging to something called "8250". To solve this, we redefine the module options in a dummy function using a redefined MODULE_PARAM_PREFX when built into the kernel. In the case where we're building as a module, we provide an alias to the old 8250 name. The dummy function prevents compiler errors due to global variable redefinitions that happen as part of the module_param_ macro expansions.
