With the previous patch, one instead gets the last CONFIG_SERIAL_RX_BUFFER_SIZE characters repeatedly until the ->rd_ptr catches up. Both behaviours are counter-intuitive, and happen because the code that checks for a character available from the hardware does not account for whether there is actually room in the software buffer to receive it. Fix that by adding such accounting. This also brings the software buffering more in line with how most hardware FIFOs behave (first received characters are kept, overflowing characters are dropped).
