I still think this one can lead to an infinite stall of the PPP channel,
because we return 0 from pppoatm_send() but never make a later call to
ppp_output_wakeup() to unblock it.

In the existing cases where we could return 0 (because
pppoatm_may_send() said no), we were careful to set the BLOCKED flag and
we *knew* that a packet was in flight so we'd get to wake it up again on
a subsequent pppoatm_pop().

None of that works for this new code path that returns zero.
