Subject: [PATCH 04/20] tty: n_gsm: fix mux cleanup after unregister tty device

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

Internally, we manage the alive state of the mux channels and mux itself
with the field member 'dead'. This makes it possible to notify the user
if the accessed underlying link is already gone. On the other hand,
however, removing the virtual ttys before terminating the channels may
result in peer messages being received without any internal target. Move
the mux cleanup procedure from gsmld_detach_gsm() to gsmld_close() to fix
this by keeping the virtual ttys open until the mux has been cleaned up.

Fixes: e1eaea46bb40 ("tty: n_gsm line discipline")
