Subject: [PATCH 07/20] tty: n_gsm: fix malformed counter for out of frame data

From: Daniel Starke <daniel.starke@...mens.com>

The gsm_mux field 'malformed' represents the number of malformed frames
received. However, gsm1_receive() also increases this counter for any out
of frame byte.
Fix this by ignoring out of frame data for the malformed counter.
