jsm: remove buggy write queue
jsm uses a write queue that copies from uart_core circular buffer. This copying however has some bugs, like not wrapping the head counter. Since this write queue is also a circular buffer, the consumer function is ready to use the uart_core circular buffer directly. This buggy copying function was making some bytes be dropped when transmitting to a raw tty, doing something like this.
