ppp: PR1943: Avoid NULL pointer access
Waiting for mbufs at this level is a bad solution. It would be better
to try to allocate a new mbuf chain before we hand over the current mbuf
chain to the upper layer. In case the allocation fails we should drop
the current packet and use its mbuf chain for a new packet.
