4.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@xxxxxxx>

commit d175feca89a1c162f60f4e3560ca7bc9437c65eb upstream.

Dmitry reported, that the current cleanup code in n_gsm can trigger a
warning:
WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 24238 at drivers/tty/n_gsm.c:2048 gsm_cleanup_mux+0x166/0x6b0()
...
Call Trace:
...

[<ffffffff828a14ea>] tty_ioctl+0xb2a/0x2140 drivers/tty/tty_io.c:2883
...

But this is a legal path when open fails to find a space in the
gsm_mux array and tries to clean up. So make it a standard test
instead of a warning.
