[PATCHv2 4/4] tty: n_gsm: add ioctl to map serial device to mux'ed tty

[Martin HundebÃll]

Guessing the base tty for a gsm0710 multiplexed serial device is not
currently possible, which makes it racy to use with multiple modems.

Add a way to map the physical serial tty to its related mux devices
using a ioctl.

Changes since v1:
 * use put_user() instead of copy_to_user()
 * add missing opening quote
