lib, ipcpd: Improve flow allocation

All calls for opening rbuffs are now concentrated on the dev side.
This allows some simplifications in the np1 calls. The ipcp_fini call
will not destroy the mutex associated with the state, since the final
state needs to be checked before shutting down an IPCP.
