Subject: [111/152] n_gsm: Fix message length handling when building header

2.6.36-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Ken Mills <ken.k.mills@...el.com>

commit be7a7411d63ccad165d66fe8e0b11b2ee336159b upstream.

Fix message length handling when building header

When the message length is greater than 127, the length field in the header
is built incorrectly. According to the spec, when the length is less than 128
the length field is a single byte formatted as: bbbbbbb1. When it is greater
than 127 then the field is two bytes of the format: bbbbbbb0 bbbbbbbb.
