The buf_overrun count is only every written, and not exposed to
userspace anywhere. This means that dropped characters due to flip
buffer overruns are never visible to userspace.

The /proc/tty/driver/serial file exports a bunch of metrics (including
hardware overruns) already, so add the buf_overrun (as "bo:") to this
file.

Hopefully this doesn't break any tools that might want to parse this
file :)

Given that those existing fe/pe/brk/oe fields only appear when they're
non-zero, existing parsing code needs to be tolerant of different sets
of fields being present/absent. Hopefully that means that a new field
shouldn't be too much of a surprise?

Otherwise, I'm happy to report the buf_overrun count elsewhere, if
there's a more suitable place.

Cheers,


Jeremy
