Subject: [PATCH 5.10 127/129] tty: n_gsm: fix incorrect UA handling

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

commit ff9166c623704337bd6fe66fce2838d9768a6634 upstream.

n_gsm is based on the 3GPP 07.010 and its newer version is the 3GPP 27.010.
See https://portal.3gpp.org/desktopmodules/Specifications/SpecificationDetails.aspx?specificationId=1516
The changes from 07.010 to 27.010 are non-functional. Therefore, I refer to
the newer 27.010 here. Chapter 5.4.4.2 states that any received unnumbered
acknowledgment (UA) with its poll/final (PF) bit set to 0 shall be
discarded. Currently, all UA frame are handled in the same way regardless
of the PF bit. This does not comply with the standard.
Remove the UA case in gsm_queue() to process only UA frames with PF bit set
to 1 to abide the standard.
