I've reapplied the patch to linux-next and submitted it just now. Is there
anything additionally that needs to be done to merge this back to stable
after this patch is applied?

I also changed the additional check conditions by changing them into

if (dlci->state == DLCI_CLOSED)

During testing I've found that there can be a case where gsmtty_ioctl was called
while it was still in the state DLCI_OPENING and this is not a problematic case.
Therefore I changed the check from the original patch to the one shown in the
new one.
