[ Upstream commit 5c14a19d5b1645cce1cb1252833d70b23635b632 ]

s3fwrn82_uart_read() reports the number of accepted bytes to the serdev
core. The current code consumes bytes into recv_skb and may already
deliver a complete frame before allocating a fresh receive buffer.

If that alloc_skb() fails, the callback returns 0 even though it has
already consumed bytes, and it leaves recv_skb as NULL for the next
receive callback. That breaks the receive_buf() accounting contract and
can also lead to a NULL dereference on the next skb_put_u8().

Allocate the receive skb lazily before consuming the next byte instead.
If allocation fails, return the number of bytes already accepted.
