Fix call to line discipline receive_buf by synclink drivers. Dummy flag buffer argument is ignored by N_HDLC line discipline but might be of insufficient size if accessed by a different line discipline selected by mistake. Calls are changed to use data buffer argument for both data and flag buffer so valid memory is provided if the wrong line discipline is used. Unused char_buf and flag_buf are removed.
