n_hdlc_release contains four loops to free each buffer list. Create a helper (n_hdlc_free_buf_list) and call it for every list instead. It makes n_hdlc_release more readable. We are switching from "for (;;)" to "do {} while (buf)" which avoids the "if (buf)" completely -- kfree is a nop for NULL pointers.
