virtio-serial: Discard data that guest sends us when ports aren't connected

Before the earlier patch, we relied on incorrect virtio api usage to
signal to the guest that a particular buffer wasn't consumed by the
host.

After fixing that, we now just discard the data the guest sends us while
a host port is disconnected or doesn't have a handler registered for
consuming data.

This commit really doesn't change anything from the current behaviour,
just makes the code slightly better by spinning off data handling to
ports in another function.
