Dmitry reported, that the current cleanup code in n_gsm can trigger a warning: WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 24238 at drivers/tty/n_gsm.c:2048 gsm_cleanup_mux+0x166/0x6b0() ... Call Trace: ... [<ffffffff81247ab9>] warn_slowpath_null+0x29/0x30 kernel/panic.c:490 [<ffffffff828d0456>] gsm_cleanup_mux+0x166/0x6b0 drivers/tty/n_gsm.c:2048 [<ffffffff828d4d87>] gsmld_open+0x5b7/0x7a0 drivers/tty/n_gsm.c:2386 [<ffffffff828b9078>] tty_ldisc_open.isra.2+0x78/0xd0 drivers/tty/tty_ldisc.c:447 [<ffffffff828b973a>] tty_set_ldisc+0x1ca/0xa70 drivers/tty/tty_ldisc.c:567 [< inline >] tiocsetd drivers/tty/tty_io.c:2650 [<ffffffff828a14ea>] tty_ioctl+0xb2a/0x2140 drivers/tty/tty_io.c:2883 ... But this is a legal path when open fails to find a space in the gsm_mux array and tries to clean up. So make it a standard test instead of a warning.
