Move lnext handling from __receive_buf to n_tty_receive_buf_standard. It simplifies the handling as it needs not fetching 'flag' and decrement 'count' in __receive_buf. Instead, all this is left up to the loop in n_tty_receive_buf_standard which already does that. This way, no need to repeat the action when n_tty_receive_char_special returns true -- ldata->lnext is set there in that case, so the 'if (ldata->lnext)' check is sufficient. The next patch will switch n_tty_receive_char_special to return 'void'. The result is much simplified code flow.
