[PATCH 6.12 510/567] serial: xilinx_uartps: Use helper function hrtimer_update_function()

[ Upstream commit eee00df8e1f1f5648ed8f9e40e2bb54c2877344a ]

The field 'function' of struct hrtimer should not be changed directly, as
the write is lockless and a concurrent timer expiry might end up using the
wrong function pointer.

Switch to use hrtimer_update_function() which also performs runtime checks
that it is safe to modify the callback.
