tty: hvc_console: Call hvc_kick in hvc_write unconditionally

commit cfd956dcb101aa3d25bac321fae923323a47c607 upstream.

After hvc_write completes, call hvc_kick also in the case the output
buffer has been drained, to ensure tty_wakeup gets called.

This fixes that functions which wait for a drained buffer got stuck
occasionally.
