syncppp: Fix crashes.
The syncppp layer wants a mid-level netdev private pointer. It was using netdev->priv but that only worked by accident, and thus this scheme was broken when the device private allocation strategy changed. Add a proper mid-layer private pointer for uses like this, update syncppp and all users, and remove the HDLC_PPP broken tag from drivers/net/wan/Kconfig Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
