As this discussion pointed out
http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=131257225602375
netdevices that are based on serial line disciplines should use netif_rx_ni()
when pushing received socketbuffers into the netdev rx queue.
Following commit 614851601c ("slip: fix NOHZ
local_softirq_pending 08 warning") this patch updates the slcan driver
accordingly.

This patch removes obsolete code in the initialisation/creation of
slcan devices.
It follows the suggested cleanups from Ilya Matvejchikov in
drivers/net/slip.c that where recently applied to net-next-2.6:
- slip: remove dead code within the slip initialization
- slip: remove redundant check slip_devs for NULL

This reverts commit b1c43f82c5.
It was broken in so many ways, and results in random odd pty issues.
It re-introduced the buggy schedule_work() in flush_to_ldisc() that can
cause endless work-loops (see commit a5660b41af6a: "tty: fix endless
work loop when the buffer fills up").
It also used an "unsigned int" return value fo the ->receive_buf()
function, but then made multiple functions return a negative error code,
and didn't actually check for the error in the caller.
And it didn't actually work at all. BenH bisected down odd tty behavior
to it:
"It looks like the patch is causing some major malfunctions of the X
server for me, possibly related to PTYs. For example, cat'ing a
large file in a gnome terminal hangs the kernel for -minutes- in a
loop of what looks like flush_to_ldisc/workqueue code, (some ftrace
data in the quoted bits further down).
...
Some more data: It -looks- like what happens is that the
flush_to_ldisc work queue entry constantly re-queues itself (because
the PTY is full ?) and the workqueue thread will basically loop
forver calling it without ever scheduling, thus starving the consumer
process that could have emptied the PTY."
which is pretty much exactly the problem we fixed in a5660b41af.
Milton Miller pointed out the 'unsigned int' issue.

it makes it simpler to keep track of the amount of
bytes received and simplifies how flush_to_ldisc counts
the remaining bytes. It also fixes a bug of lost bytes
on n_tty when flushing too many bytes via the USB
serial gadget driver.

This patch adds support for serial/USB-serial CAN adapters implementing the
LAWICEL ASCII protocol for CAN frame transport over serial lines.
The driver implements the SLCAN line discipline and is heavily based on the
slip.c driver. Therefore the code style remains similar to slip.c to be able
to apply changes of the SLIP driver to the SLCAN driver easily.
For more details see the slcan Kconfig entry.
