[PATCH v2 2/2] drm/msm/rd: Fix FIFO-full deadlock

From: Rob Clark <robdclark at chromium.org>

If the previous thing cat'ing $debugfs/rd left the FIFO full, then
subsequent open could deadlock in rd_write() (because open is blocked,
not giving a chance for read() to consume any data in the FIFO).  Also
it is generally a good idea to clear out old data from the FIFO.
