[PATCH rtems 2/2] termios: Pass number of sent chars to l_start

[Christian Mauderer]

At the moment the line discipline start function (l_start) has no
possibility to get feedback about the number of characters that have
been sent. This patch passes that information via an additional
parameter.

The change might trigger a warning on existing code because of a pointer
mismatch but it shouldn't break it. An existing function with the old
API will just ignore the additional parameter.

Update #4493
