For the case of console_suspend disabled, if back to back suspend/resume
test is executed, at the end of test, sometimes console would appear to
be frozen not responding to input. This would happen because, for
console_suspend disabled, suspend/resume routines only turn resources
off/on but don't do a port close/open.
As a result, during resume, some rx transactions come in before system is
ready, malfunction of rx happens in turn resulting in console appearing
to be stuck.

Do a stop_rx in suspend sequence to prevent this. start_rx is already
present in resume sequence as part of call to set_termios which does a
stop_rx/start_rx.

So why is it OK for every other driver? Should uart_suspend_port() be fixed instead?

v3: swapped the order of conditions to be more human readable
v2: restricted patch to contain only stop_rx in suspend sequence
v1: intial patch contained 2 additional unrelated changes in vicinity
