Move the buffer flush from mux_chr_read to mux_chr_can_read. While the latter is called periodically, the former will only be invoked when new characters arrive at the back-end. This caused problems to front-end drivers whenever they were unable to read data immediately, e.g. virtio-console attached to stdio.
