Subject: [PATCH net-next] drivers/net/wan/hdlc_fr: Improvements to the code of pvc_xmit

1. Keep the code for the normal (non-error) flow at the lowest
indentation level. And use "goto drop" for all error handling.

2. Replace code that pads short Ethernet frames with a "__skb_pad" call.

3. Change "dev_kfree_skb" to "kfree_skb" in error handling code.
"kfree_skb" is the correct function to call when dropping an skb due to
an error. "dev_kfree_skb", which is an alias of "consume_skb", is for
dropping skbs normally (not due to an error).
