serial: meson: fix meson_serial_pending() tx logic

According to the dm_serial_ops documentation, pending() should:
> @return number of waiting characters, 0 for none, -ve on error

And:
> It is acceptable to return 1 if an indeterminant number
> of characters is waiting.

With the current implementation, we have:
* FIFO is full           -> pending() returns 0
* FIFO is partially used -> pending() returns 1
* FIFO is empty          -> pending() returns 1

This is not the same as what the documentation requires.

Moreover, since [1], arm reset now flushes all console devices
(including serial) before the cpu gets reset.
Because of the flawed logic:

  => reset # user calls reset
  flush() is called
  _serial_flush() is called
  ops->pending(dev, false) # never returns false
  # board hangs indefinitely without resetting.

Fix it by using AML_UART_TX_EMPTY instead of AML_UART_TX_FULL.
